Got it started today
While waiting for the Zenith service kit to arrive from Moyer, I decided to do another cleaning attempt.
I did not notice the fixed part of the main jet the first time, but I removed it this time and clearly saw the blockage.
After replacing the carb, it fired right up, just as it always has.
I still need to set the idle and main jet correctly, it it doesn't sound too bad as is.
I have two other issues to resolve.
Scavange tube
The drain plug at the bottom of the carburetor.
I am still back ordered on the scavenge tube and the old tube no longer seals at either fitting. JBWELD seemed to work the first time, but not sure if it will hold up to extended use.
Does anyone have thoughts on an alternative?
On the drain plug, the threads are pretty much gone on the carb side. Short of retapping the fitting, can anyone recommend some magic goop that will get me through the season?
I tried some pipe drop and it was not leaking tonight, but I can hand spin it, so I am not feeling very comfortable about that solution.
Again thanks to everyone for their help. I was quite surprised I didn't end up with a yard bill for this.
