The nasal and sinus and mild cough have been off & on since Christmas. This deep cough & tight chest are recent additions. Past experience says I am prone to lung infections (pneumonia x3). Part of that is my own damn fault as a former smoker.

Does it run with the choke on (partially or full) and sputter out when you unchoke it?
Spoke too soon. About an hour ago I got a sudden wave of nausea and it was everything I could do to not hurl. Damn it.
It runs with the mixture full rich and but dies before any adjustment can be made (a couple of seconds). This lead us to believe the initial start and very brief run is off of the prime and once that was gone it dies.
This all makes me REALLY want to man up (sick of not) and roll the snow snaffler out and see if it starts. If it does I can always come back here and join the no start club. Oh, hell, one of the two I have will start, right?
Edit: Going to have a ham sammich. If I don't throw it up I going to go play with the Toros.

Seriously, girl, have Lew take you to see the doc. Unlike some of us here you cannot earn extra Man Card points for not going.
Sounds like the carburetor might be full of gummy bears.
That's what I am afraid of.
That's what I think, Throw a tablespoon or two of Seafoam in the gas and let it run fully choked. I bet after a few minutes you will be able to start slowly turning the choke off.Sounds like the carburetor might be full of gummy bears.
I have never claimed to be handy or mechanically inclined but I am trying to learn!
Co-worker comes over to my desk and says, "If I don't feel better by tomorrow, I'm probably not coming in."
Dude went out for about 8 smoke breaks today, ordered and ate a huge greasy burger for lunch and was chatting loudly all afternoon with the guy behind him.
Hopefully he survives the night.

Seafoam is designed specifically for cleaning your carbs. It was originally created for boats which sat for long periods with gas in the carbs. Either that or some STP carb cleaner.
This is NOT the Red Green way. Apparently you wife does find you handsome.
And, no, Red ain't talking about Weinstein handy. Just so you all know.
Mrs. Velo used to just shake her head when I watched Red Green at 10:30 until about the fifth time then I would find her changing the channel over to it after the news.This is NOT the Red Green way. Apparently you wife does find you handsome.
