Video wouldn't load
So, last night, she wouldn't fire. I'm pretty sure she wasn't getting fuel.
This morning I added more fuel and she acted like this,
crank,crank,crank,crank,fire,crank,crank,fire and so on, but didn't start.
Suggestions?
I'll try the video again in a few, but it only shows her not firing, just cranking.

Damn I felt like an idiot.So was it on or not?
Did you mess with the timing at all?
You might pull the air cleaner off and make sure gas is going through the carb.
Pull a plug and make sure you are getting spark.

Hey man I had the same problem once and I was just starting to pull Tina apart when I looked at the petcock and saw that I had forgotten to turn it on. Damn I felt like an idiot.

I didn't check one thing though. The adjustment on the bottom of the carb. If that's too tight, It won't start, right?
She's DEFINATELY getting spark. she tried to start this morning.
Video will be up in a few from last night. I don't want to hear ANY FAT,UGLY or otherwise jokes either.....

When you cleaned the carb did you mess with the adjustment screws?
Sorry man but I promise nothing in the way of jokes.

Did you try starting Bertha with the pet **** in the reserve position?
It didn't look like you put much gas in her.
