[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 223346, member: 3959"] It needs the initial squirt of fuel to get it going, otherwise just kicking it doesn't create enough suction to pull the fuel up through the pilot jet. This is due to the large diameter venturi, and the pressure/volume thing we discussed back on posts 206-208. This is how I understand it. Yes, it does, once it's running and its creating enough suction to engage the pilot system. All I know is it runs after I went back into the carb. What I think happened was I re-used the old float bowl o-ring, and I think it was a little crushed in the area by the AP squirter tube and was leaking back into the bowl, not going up the pipe. It also could have been that I used a regular o-ring (the small one) for the AP cover, and when installed it may have crushed the o-ring too much, restricting flow. Maybe a combination of both. But I put in all new o-rings, and now its quirts through the tube in front of the slide, and it runs. It's not running perfect, popping and back-firing, but it runs. I rode it around the block. Now I gotta take the right side cover off and see why it only shifts into 1st and neutral. [/QUOTE]
