OK, still cant seem to find the leak. Could it be that I need to disassemble and soak the carb gaskets as I didn’t run this engine last season and this is the initial start-up? “Trying to learn on the job”
Thanks guys. I just had the carb off and the reed box out. It doing the same thing before and after. Any thoughts on other areas to check? I seem to have good compression. One more piece of information. I had to pull the fuel line to get it to shut off. Neither the ignition switch or the pulling the battery terminals would get it to shut off. Probably ran a good 15 seconds after pulling the fuel line.
