Default To start an engine.

Hello Everyone!

I have a very basic question on how to start an engine. From what I know, you must first chock the engine by covering the carburator. This is to allow some oil to flow into the engine parts. And then with the help of astarter or chicken stick, you shall start the engine.

However for my case, Why is it that I tried to choke the engine, no fuel seems to flow into my engine? I covered the carburator and turned the propeller a few times. However there is no fuel coming in to the engine. I checked the fuel tank and all parts are fine. Everything are connected.

Can someone troubleshoot the problem? Thanks a lot in advance[/size]
