that was the problem... my valve in the carb for the floats was stuck by varnished gas so once i opened that up it started right up just make sure that if you clean your carb not to mess with the idle needle that would be the on bigger screw on the outside bottom of your float bowl cover i made the mistake of doing that and i had to keep pulling my carb to re tune it</end quote></div>

I just had my carburetor torn apart by my Dad, and it turns out I had the same problem with the floats.

Thanks for everyone's help!
