Thanks for all the help.

Its dark when I go to and home from work but I did pull the plug on the bottom of the carb and had good gas flow to there. That should elminate:

the screen at the top of the sediment bowl (the bowl looks like clean gas, no particulates, and nothing like the rust bowl that it looked like before I started cleaning, I had soaked the screen in carb cleaner just before installing)

and the screen at the elbow on the inlet of the carb.

I did completely disassemble the carb and soak it in cleaner so it should be clean

My next step will be to flood the engine and see if I'v got fuel at the plugs. If yes then I don't have a fuel problem and I'll check for fire at the plugs while I've got them out.

Does anyone know how long a cub will run on just the battery? I did some reading last night on cub won't run problems and did not previously understand how the coil worked that is to say it draws voltage from the battery to fire the plugs. I don't think my alternater works so I recharge the battery before every use. (I only use the cub for 3-4 hrs every year!)

If a dead battery (still turned the engine over) will cause a cub not run I may have found my problem. Battery is charging now.

thanks for all the help
