Alright... I recently replaced the cylinder on my JS300 only to find out the head gasket on the new cylinder was blown. OK... replaced the head gasket, reconnected all the hoses, poured a little fuel in the carb, and she fired up. I let it idle for about 30secs, then worked the throttle a bit, let it return to idle, and then hit the kill switch.

Now... I can't get it to start again! (Literally, 30sec later.) I am 100% positive I have spark and compression. But it seems to me that it might not be getting fuel... although I have poured WAY more than enough fuel down the carb.

Should I pull the carb and clean it up or is there another possible remedy?

Thanks,
