Not with a gauge yet, just redneck way.
After rebuilding the carb again, I noticed the accelerator pump is not squirting gas into the carb when I twist the throttle. I know it was working before, hopefully that is the problem.

You do not have to remove the nozzle if you shake the bowl like a paint can and hear a rattle just like a paint can --- this is touchy area right here the nozzle is pressed in and the bowl is just made of cheap pot metal , you stand a good chance of breaking it
Did you soak the bowl in a strong carb cleaner ??? Is that small along the tube clogged ???

Well, after taking it apart and cleaning it, for the third time, it started to run again!
I did have one part left over, which is not in the exploded views, so it may not even be part of the carb. Not sure how it got in there!

Same thing again this morning... hard to start, and won't run worth a crap.
Rode it all around yesterday, went to the store, shut it off, started up, no problem, ran really well. Damnit!

Wonder if it's something to do with the cooler air?
