I have tried first with the engine choked, then unchoked and no difference. I spoke with a friend today who thought the float could be stuck closed (after sitting over the winter). It has a Walbro carb and he said this is a common problem. I'll try taking that apart tomorrow.
Thanks for the input..and other ideas?
None of the Wabro carbs that I have worked on has a float, they have had a diaphram that will get stiff and brittle with age and should be replaced at that point.
