Re: Mono jet won't start without priming

Thanks for the replies.
I did forget to mention that I did install a new pump as well. I rebuilt the carb and I used to rebuild carbs in my sleep, but I got to admit I haven't touched on in over a decade, so I very well could have missed something.
The choke seems to be working, I step on the pedal when it's cold and the butterfly closes.
I definitely think it's a fuel leak down problem, but where. No leaks externally, and I have a clear fuel filter installed above and in front of the valve cover and it's always full of fuel.
So I'm thinking the fuel must be leaking down into the intake from the carb. somewhere.
thanks again
Gerry
