Dave,

I think that Sloroll is right on. You obviously are not getting gas
through your main jet into the engine. The primer uses a
separate circuit in the carburetor to get a little bit of gas into the
intake port, but then the engine relies on gas getting to it
through the main jet. You probably need to remove the
carburetor bowl and see that a steady flow of gas is coming to it
from the gas tank. If it is, then the main jet circuit must be
clogged. If it isn't, then the inlet to the carburetor through the
float valve must be clogged.

In either case, the main jet circuit doesn't seem to be working
right.

Good luck,

Tom in TN
