Oh by the way the stock relay is a 30 amp.
When you replace it go with a 40 amp.
It is just my opinion but I think the 40 amp has better connections.

Just my 2 cents.

That lever is your choke and needs to be connected.
It should lift up much higher than 1/8 of an inch.

there is some spray that comes out the front of the carb. i have the air cleaner off. but choke or not it wont hit on fuel. im stumped. i know its a fuel issue but i cant see why if the jet is clean there is no fuel going into the engine. pulled the plugs and they are dry.
