Replaced carb and fuel filter with fuel lines, tested spark, checked and petrol getting into the primer bulb no probs. Ofcourse did the fuel mix thing 100% correct this time round. Still sounds as dead as ever upon starting. Made sure choke was set on cold when starting along with all the other...

Thankyou all for the help. I pressed the bulb and one of them pushed air out indicating the outake (the one marked green in my picture attached). The other one would create some slight suction when bulb was released which indicated the intake. So I think I've got this right! Here's a picture of...

Hey everyone, so I've made some progress with this carb restoration project. I've fitted in the new carb successfully but have forgotten which is one is the fuel intake and the return? I've also pulled the fuel tank apart and cleaned it up as there was lots of residue inside. The fuel filter...

That's the one, you've found it thanks. I'm pretty new to this but good with my hands. Might be worth taking the carb apart you think?

I think its the small cube type. Can you make out from the pics?

Took the muffler off and same thing. It spitting out drops of petrol upon pulling on the starter cord. No sign of wasp/bee nests in there either.

Hey guys, New here on the forums. I'm working on a whipper snipper Victa Tornado Plus (2 stroke engine). My dad purchased it brand new and only started it once and has had it in storage for a couple years now. It had stale petrol which i had to drain out and refill. I checked to make sure that...
