Is everything installed back together correctly? I recommend checking out a diagram.
Yes.I do have good compression (120psi)fuel,fuel tank,and lines are good and clean.Good spark aswell.It dose turn on when I drop fuel into carb.But wont stay on.
engine info; Mo;267707 Type:0225-01.Code:9511174B.
Thank you.
I've had carbs.in worst condition work after a good cleaning.I have no idea whats going on with this one.It seems as if im missing something.??? I just resoked it,rinsed with warm water,shot carb cleaner in all ports.Used shop air at all ports.And ,again,will only run on fuel added to carb.I did adjust the jet in and out ,No change.

How about fuel!? Is any going to the carb?
That is my guess, because if runs if you poor gas. Something is wrong.
Rivets, try 287707-0225-01 and to the OP does the fuel solenoid on the bottom of the carb click when you turn the key on. There is no adjustments for fuel other than maybe the idle circuit jet, but that won't cause your problem. If you have clean fresh fuel in the carb bowl. then you either have a clogged jet up inside the emulsion tube area of the carb, or the fuel solenoid isn't working.
IL, that's the same number that I came up with. Unless I missed something, the OP doesn't tell us if he has the Walbro or Nikki carb. I'm guessing Nikki. If he has the Nikki carb, two things come to mind very quickly. One, that goofy gasket between the carb body and the float carrier has to be perfect. Two, if while reassembling you don't have everything lined up perfectly, internal air leaks will occur, which means no fuel flow. Finally, the float bowl spring must be installed to make sure the float assembly seals properly.
