RE: Engine starting problem...octane?

OK, hear's some things I would check. when it starts for the 5 seconds squirt some carb. cleaner down the carb. If it still hits off the carb. cleaner you got a fuel starvation problem. I take it you allready checked the accelerator pump and it quirts fuel when you actuate the gas pedal. If it getting plenty of gas then the plugs should be wet, pull them and check them right after it dies and you've pumped the SH@@ out of it. I wouldn't rule out a he@@ of a vacuum leak also. Why the .040 gap most all older models are .035? If the carb. wasn't know to be good I'd suspect it right off.
This thread, so far...
