Seems to me that it isn't cranking over quick enough. Even with the new battery and cables. Yet, when I hook it up to the jump start it turns over quicker and starts up fairly soon also. What else should I check??? I am trying all new gaskets in the carb to see if that helps. I'm really frustrated.
How did you clean the carb? I rarely have luck cleaning/rebuilding them anymore ever since awesome ethanol. I mean they work but never perfect. Did you take out every part, soak in (I like sea foam) cleaner for 24 hours and blow out with compressed air etc? What about spark check, wires, plug gap? Compression test?
