NOBODY GIVES YOU A PART YOU DON'T NEED!!! That spring costs themmoney; why would they give it to you if it wasn't needed?? That would not be good business. Good business is when you give the customer only what is needed!! Henry Ford didn't put one extra nut, bolt, or screw in a car that wasn't needed. One extra, (even if it only cost 5 cents) on 100,000 car would cost a lot of money, and he wasn't a fool!! That spring is ensuring that the filter stays where it is supposed to be!!! PUT IT IN where it's supposed to be!!!
Regards, Steve Lee

I would fill the bowl, else it takes a long time for the pump to fill it. The carb won't get any gas until the bowl is full. gregg

You say you are getting fuel to the flexible line. Have you determined that the flex line itself does not have an air leak? you might undo the line and use a mityvac or similar device to see if it does, or just hold your finger on one end and suck on the other. Or just replace the flex line.

I did most everything everyone suggested. I am getting fuel to the flexible tube. Cranking til the battery weakens. Will charge and try later. Did not try to fill the bowl. Think I should? Since manual choke is not working yet, I closed the butterfly to about 1/8 inch.

Good you talked with Ken, he is the expert. Me, I just try things until they work...or don't then cry out for help. Regarding the filter, I first installed it after the gasket and things leaked. Then installed it on top, followed by the gasket and no leak. You must be close to solving this puzzle! gregg
