What the others said is good, but I just wanted to add that if you
take the carb drain plug out and turn the gas on, it should run
out at a pretty good clip, not just dribble out. That"s after the
initial gush of gas from the bowl is out. If it doesn"t run out fast
enough, then there is a little bit of rust or something partially
blocking the line. Take the gas cap off and look in the tank to
the outlet on the bottom to see if you can see somethintg there.
Don"t use compressed air to blow back through the carb, as you
will collapse the float- been there, done that. Also clean inlet
screen where the fuel line goes into the carb.
Also, in case you didn"t know, the high speed mixture fuel screw
is the one on the bottom of the carb at an angle. The idle
mixture air screw is at the throat of the carb, with a spring under
it.
