RE: fuel doesnt prime
check your pipe connection, fuel line, the pressure line from the pipe to the tank, and any exaust obstructions that could be stopping the airflow

Have you tried getting it to start when you manually prime it to the carb? Use the method of blowing into your pipe fuel line.

RE: fuel doesnt prime
well i did the but i still have the same problem. and it still doesnt prime when the put the fuel line into the carb. where could this leak be coming from? could it be the header? or the flywheels not being all they way on? its driving me crazy!!! lol
