Hi folks I can't get my nephews 440 to run
If I choke it the engine revs to the point of engagement and without the choke it will just sputter and Die
I have tryed everything I know
which includes
fuel lines/filter/pump
cleaned carb
inspected reeds
compression is 120 in each hole
I isolateed the carb by setting up a gravity feed directly to the carb with no different results
I sprayed starting fluid around the crank seals and it did not rev up so I assume they are fine
What is next???
Thanks guys

Just a thought but it is an older sled, did you check the carb boot for wear/age cracks and or seals. I have one of these sleds and acnnot remember of it has a boot or is like the older 340's and the carb just bolts on with a gasket.
