    A weak spark will allow a vehicle to run with an increased octane (ether does that), but it will flood easily too, hence wet plugs. In fact, it might be as simple as burned or fouled plugs.

    But I agree that the carb might also be an issue and that it may be an air leak. A quick check is to look down the throttle and see if fuel is squirting in. I am not so certain about an air leak. That tends to show different symptoms.

    Good or bad I seem to forget where my delete key is these days. Nothing personal.

    Having same issue as original post. Ran it out of gas and found their was no fuel to carb. Took line off going to fuel pump and gas gets to fuel pump. Cleaned bowl and then took top off of fuel pump. Really looks pretty clean and I didn't find any trash. Everything in fuel pump looks ok. Put it back together and still nothing. Did priming lever a bunch but it is not sucking anything into the sediment bowl.

    Any ideas?
