I have good fuel pressure. I took the fuel line off the carb and put a hose on it and it sprays pretty good in pulses. is that what its suppose to do? I have replaced the fuel filter going into the the carb. I dont find any others. the sock on the fuel sender thats in the tank is actually gone. so its not stopped up.

I double checked the timing. I have it set at 8deg btdc. thats what the manual I have says. whats the heat riser? how do I check it?

The next thing I thought about doing was rebuilding this carb. I even though about replacing the spark plug wires. I hate to just keep replacing stuff.
