Jim,
On your list of "ifs", the only item that I don't have is fuel running out of the inlet when my hand is held over it. The carb mechanic that worked with me also said the same thing should happen but he was unable to figure out why it didn't do that. He also said that the suction on his hand was very strong so he felt it should be more than adequate to pull the fuel into the engine.
A friend suggested that if it is running on supplemental fuel (ether or brake cleaner) that perhaps the problem is that it needs a higher octane fuel. I am using fresh fuel, 87 octane, and it might have some ethanol in it, as most fuels do these days. Do you think this could be the problem? All my other engines run OK on this fuel, so I tend to discount this thought, but as you can tell, I am desperatly searching for an answer and am willing to try most anything.
