M5 wont start

pointrow · Jun 13, 2021

Tractor started and ran for about 10 seconds and wont restart.
Has good fuel flow to carb.
Good spark but plugs are dry.
Will run on either.
Needle seat is not stuck and has gas in the carburetor.
I replaced the intake gasket last year.

Any ideas why Im not getting fuel to the plugs?

Thanks

just because it has fuel in the bowl dont mean its good. can be a plugged main jet, or just time for a carb cleaning.

Got it started. Took carb off again and blew out all the ports and it started right up.

Thanks for the reply.
I just couldnt imagine how dirt got in there after cleaning the tank and lines last year along with 2 filters in line.
