Default Some help starting a Fox 40BB please!!

Hi all,

I just purchased a Fox 40BB off Ebay. What a mistake! The seller said it ran fine the last time he had it, But I can not get it to run. Not even a cough! One of the first things I noticed is that there is Epoxy around the Carb to crankcase connection. It also appears the low speed screw is turned out rather far. the carb has 2 needle valves and a third screw on the top of the carb. When priming the engine before the initial start, I noticed it would draw fuel up the fuel line, then actually push it away again as you completed the cycle of the engine. I also threw the electric starter to it and could see droplets of fuel coming out the carb opening. Can anyone tell me what needle valve settings I could start with, or any other suggestions on what I can do to get this thing running would be appreciated.
