Started the 460 gas for the first time today in probably 4 months. It ran good at half choke for about 30 seconds then died, i tried to start it again but the engine just turned over. Thought maybe flooded it so i let it sit for an hour but it still just turns over. Fuel tank is full of gas, additive was added when parked before winter. I unscrewed the carburetor drain plug and just a little bit of gas came out, like a half teaspoon at most. I then started to unscrew the outside flange nut that holds the fuel line to the carb and before i got it all the way unscrewed gas started to run at a good stream. My question is... do I have a problem in my carb? shouldn't gas be running freely out of that drain plug on the bottom of carburetor? I havn't checked for spark but that shouldn't be the problem since it ran fine for 30 seconds correct??? Thanks for any help!!!
