      Yes new fuel lines on the connector to carb and fuel line goes to carb,and air to motor. That is correct. Carb rebuilt, float set proper and carb was soaked overnight so very clean there. Flipped the carb and blew into the inlet. It shuts off completely so needle is working. I am currently awaiting new fuel lines and seals from connector to tank. If I spray a mist of fuel in spark plug holes it fires right up for a couple of seconds. Is this typical of an air leak?

        First time seeing or even touching a pressure tank. So don’t assume I know anything about them. But I’m a fast learner!

          Maybe I’m pumping it to much? There is fuel coming down the outside of the lower unit.I’m assuming the exhaust?

            Well, you shouldn’t be able to over power the carburetor float/valve with the primer button…
            Did you check to be sure you had the new fuel and air hoses attached correctly? Again, if they are backwards, you will just pump fuel directly into the intake manifold…
            There is an easy way to check this out…Simply remove the vacuum line from the intake manifold…Now pump the primer…Something is backwards somewhere if fuel pours out of the vacuum hose while pumping the primer….

                New fuel line arrived today. Just waiting on the connector seals. Then everything will be sealed up. We’ll see what happens then.
