Looking for a second opinion think it might be time for a rebuild. Not much compression engine won't start.
Check
No visible air leak
Plenty spark
Notice when I prime the motor when the choke is on no pop
Kill switch is good
Probably will replace the carb before I commit to the rebuild.

[DougStar]

So I take it you have a +2mm crank already

I have to double check not sure white size crank comes with the obr 30.5 full mod

 

[DougStar]

There are kits two available one with a crank and one without

I emptied the fuel out of the tank and noticed the fuel filter wasn’t on the line. Could this be my starting issue maybe flooding the carb?

 

[DougStar]

Don't think so dirty filter would flood the carb

The filter wasn’t on the line it was floating around in the tank.

 

[Seandonato73]

Wouldn't be flooding the engine, more like starving the engine for fuel, but for sure it would let any dirt get sucked right into the carb.

Good to know will re attach tomorrow see if I can get it to start if not order myself a new carb

 

[blackrain]

Installed a new carb and isolator block fired right up. Looks like the old carb must have sucked dirt when the fuel filter fell off. All is well now.
