I have finally reached the stage of trying to get my recently purchased 1951 H started. I have started it on ether, and have run a full can of brake cleaner through it and it ran beautifully. However, it will not run on gas. Here is what I have done to date to try and resolve this problem.
1. Disassembled and cleaned the entire carb, including all jets. All ports have been blown with air at 90psi and are clear.
2. Removed the varnish on the float valve plunger so it falls freely when the float is in the down position so gas can enter the carb.
3. Verified that the carb is getting gas by opening the drain plug on the carb body and letting the gas run out.
4. Verified that the fuel line is clean and running a steady stream.
5. Checked the carb suction with the air cleaner pipe off by covering it with my hand. It has a very strong suction, which tells me the engine is pulling the air through as it should.
6. Checked the inlet manifold gasket for leaks. None that I can find.
7. Hired the local "...best carb guy in the region..." to see if he could figure out what is wrong. He went through all the above steps again, put it back together, and tried to start it. Fired right off on ether, but will not start on gas.
I have been trying to solve this problem for the past week. Am very frustrated. What might I be missing? If it won't start standing still, will pull starting it make any difference? Don't see why it would, but am out of ideas.
