Working on a little murry rear engine rider that has stumped me to the fullest!Has a 10 h.p. tecumseh that will only run on starting fluid or by pouring gas down the air cleaner.It is getting plenty of gas to the carburator, i have soaked the carb in cleaner. cleaned all the passages including the tiny little hole in the main jet that holds the bowl on, has a good blue spark, and has 80psi. of compression.I even put another carb on it to see if it was just something with the carb i was missing and it acts the very same way.HELP!!! I can find absolutly nothing wrong with this engine.Please if there is anything eles i can check let me know.

Pull your plug out and put a new one in it ,then crank it with the plug against the block.see if it fires. I worked on mine 3 days .it had gas,spark,new coil,points cond. and it still wouldn,t start.guess what it was the end of the coil wire that goes over the plug.can,t see it jump fire very easy.I took it of and the engine purrs like a kitten.worked on small engines all my life.never had this happen.please reply jim.

Not meant to be any kind of insult,but been there done that,felt foolish.After reassemblimg and installing the carb,did you open(set)the main jet screw.I spent all afternoon one day cussin and jerkin on one before I resolved my cranial-rectal inversion. Is this a gravity feed fuel tank or does engine have a fuel pump?

Has good compression at some point. Something is out of time or intake leak.
