UPDATE: Hole in fuel line. I replace a 2 ft. section of the fuel line where it was a bit stiff, and in a bind where it hooked up to fuel pump. NOW it pumps fuel. And now another problem. It won't crank over. Like its vapor locked or something. I pushed start button and it did a one time crank and no more. The starter engaged and it acted like not enough battery. I checked voltage. 9.6 put on charger for an hour , back to good, and now the solenoid behind the starter switch is clicking rapidly when I hit start. and starter not engaging. I took plugs out and was able to turn engine over by hand. AARRGGHH.

Bob, that is probably the case due to brittle or rotten fuel line and sucking air instead of fuel. I should get a primer bulb and extend the fuel line to see if I can gravity feed/ siphon fuel into a container. I WD-40'd the tank strap bolts already, and I may not have to drop the tank all the way down. I need just enough room to reach up in there. Being a contortionist isn't easy when you're a fat guy like me. lol. Several years ago, I dropped that tank once before to replace the fuel pump. If I would have known THEN what I know now.. well you know. lol Ain't nuthin' but a thing.
