Yep, I checked that out and found the carb base gasket to be some what soft, but I dont think its enough to block the passage/port.
Will take a closer look tomorrow, and maybe make a new gasket. Now I am wondering how fuel is regulated, pressure and/or flow.
Maybe I will give wacker a call. Or try another carb. etc. etc.
Thanks for your help, I am sure its some simple little thing or oversight.
