    It’s clearly a fuel delivery issue. It may have gotten inside a small jet or one of the orafaces and may not be in plain sight. Its inside that little sucker someplace.   Process of elimination you will find it. Patience and persistence. Keep in mind the intake for the carb. Make sure nothing got into there! Good luck. 

    I'm about 95% sure that nothing has got in there so far.  I flushed the gas tank and cleaned the lines, and nothing has got in there since I got it.  It  *should* be clean, unless it came clogged.  So is there anything else there could be?

    It could be possible that you sent more junk into the new carb if you changed the gas tank petcock valve after the new carb was installed? If not then I would take a look at the carburetor hub where it enters the engine. Maybe something inside there?  I would take a look at the new carb first and make sure no clogs are  there from residual junk in the line and go from there.   

    Already checked, it had nothing in it (other than gas) and was completely  clean.

    Sounds like it  is not getting the  gas for some reason. Have  you  checked to  be  sure the  gas line  is not plugged? The new  carb.... Is  it  new  or  just  new to  you ?  It  could also  have  a  problem  with  plugged  jets  or stuck  float /  float  needle   blocking the  gas.

    The carb is getting gas (Replaced petcock with a little gas in tank), and it is brand new.  Already made sure the float wasn't stuck, but not the jets.

  4. It was running well one day, and then the next it just wouldn't start (It has been very cold while trying to start it). I checked spark, it was meh, so I replaced it. After that it got blue spark. Still won't start. Cleaned out the carb (It was quite bad), still wouldn't start. Bought a new carb, put it on, still won't start. Gas is getting to the carb and the plug is dry. It's got compression (Not measured, just put hand in front of exhaust), spark, and gas. It'll start for a second it I put gas in the plug hole, but then I'm back to a dry plug. Any ideas on why it won't start?
