Well, that would explain why the fuel wasn't getting to the engine. Curious to see if that was all.

did you see the pics of those beat intake gaskets? i had 1/2" of movement in the intake up and down. it felt like the carb was just flapping around in there. i called the dealer and the service guy laughed and said no wonder it would not start.

Yea, I saw that. Doesn't look like they were performing there function very well, even if it was tight.
