ORIGINAL: squeaky penguin

Hey guys,

I just picked up a used DL-50, everything appers in order, the guy I bought it from said it would run, and I can't get it to start. I've checked the spark and its good. It floods real easily. It will fire, but very rarely. Does anyone have any ideas before my arm falls off? I was wondering that if altitude would affect it that much. I live at 7,000' and the guy I bought it from lives at about 1,000'. Is it just really rich. Any help will be appreciated.
If its getting too much gas(Flooding) I would pull the carb off and check the main needle and lever height to make sure its all good, would not hurt to clean out the carb while your at it.
