I was hoping to run my SAP 180 this week end, but we got hit with 6 more inches of snow with a couple more inches due Saturday, so I can only look at my engine. But I hope to get started on my Focus II this week end. About the fuel draw problem, was it only when you were starting the engine ? And what was the cure ?
Thanks, Dan
Yes only during start up. There was a problem with something being blocked in the carb. Once the carb was cleaned out, starting has been pretty trivial
The better method to draw fuel is to rock the prop between TDC and BDC, as Todd recommends. If you smell the gasoline there is enough fuel in the carb to start. Usually takes two or three flips after the carb is primed, and it's running.

How did you go about cleaning the carb ? Did you have to remove it from the engine ?
Thanks , Dan
