My sporty won't start up, and that was finally enough motivation to join the forum rather that the reading that I've been doing for a while.
Took the air filter off and quite literally JUST wiped out the reachable parts of the carb, and as soon as I put the filter back on it won't start. It's turning over and getting gas... but nothing. I would greatly appreciate any ideas.
I looked one more time, and that beautiful blackened gas is coming out of the hollow bolts that go from the inside of the air cleaner to the cylinder. Am I wrong to assume that the cylinders are flooded?
