Trying to get my old 51' started after sitting for the last 18 years and am having a problem-
I got it to run briefly by pulling the plug and spraying the cylinder with WD-40 so I figured the carb was gummed up - removed the carb and cleaned and reinstalled - no start - sprayed a little ether thru the carb and it started and ran till it burned the ether. Now it won't even start on ether or by pulling the plug and spraying with WD-40. Any ideas what to try next? Bike has good spark, good compression and the carb is clean. Thanks- Mike A.
