Brother installed new Chinese repro carb.

I fixed fuel u
Pump.

Runs on starter fluid, but bowl sill looks dry, even with electric fuel pump on(we use to prime carb)

Black wire with fuel cutoff solinoid, wrapped in white heat shield?

male spade comes out of back of carb, what is it?

Whats the wire going to on the carb?
My guess is the cut off.
Did you knock the float free first?....needle valve is probably stuck shut.

Yup ran ign hot to that wire a heard the shut off solinoid click, gonna, have to pull the top and unstick the needle valve, no gas in the sight glass


Whats the best way for cars only driven occasionally to keep the needles from sticking?
