First attempt at start. It's not catching

Posted by Mike CA on April 02, 2008 at 18:21:00 from (67.125.135.185):

So we got everything hooked up, water in, and gas in. We gave it a crank. It sounds like it wants to fire up until you stop pressing the start button. As soon as you stop pressing it, that's it. It stops.

We took the carb off and played with the float a little. The needle seems to stick sometimes, but we played with the float and got it to work fine, as far as we can tell. But that didn't make a difference on it staying running.

We played with the throttle and choke at different positions. No joy.

Like I said, with the starter button in, it sounds like it's running. As soon as you let go, it stops.

What can I do?
