my maxi had a rusty tank
i cleaned it out but the carb is still filling and i assum it should still spark. the plug is good. the petcock is slow but thats not the problem. i think i did timing right. even so it worked before just didnt run. im sure the compression is good. the cylinder is clean. the thing just wont start up. i think i tested every possible thing that could go wrong. i put starting fluid in the thing and even so i dont feel it even attempt to start. i think i smelled some of the fumes from the burnt starting fluid. perhaps its coming through my head? i dunno when i turn the flywheel to move the piston i can hear a TINY bit of hissing coming out. i dunno if thats coming through my gasket or the exhaust (where it should come out) even so i doubt that compression is the problem
