How did you finally get the gas to flow???

In all my limited experience if gas will not be pulled into the carb then either the choke is not closing, an air leak exists or the pump diaphram is bad. I had a 3W55i that would not pull fuel if I emptied the tank. I did everything I could think of then one day I pulled the carb from the engine and noticed the carb block had a tiny crack in it on the side that mounted to the engine block, replaced it and it pulled fuel right away. I have a 3W80xi that would not pull fuel after installing it but did OK after you primed it but was kinda hard to tune and seemed to be a bit lacking in power. Did all of the above and never figured it out, then one day it would only run on the prime. I took the carb off and looked at the reeds to find a very small piece of plywood jammed between the one reed and block. It wasn't much but it was holding the reed open just a small bit. I slapped my head for a few minutes after I remembered cutting out a small piece of wood for the servo mount and forgot to pull it out of the airframe so when I stood the plane up take a guess where the wood went [:'(]

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you got it running [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
