Yes, check your carb bowl to see if there's fuel. Dry spark plug = no fuel getting into cylinder. If the bowl has fuel in it, one or more of your jets is probably clogged. The last carb I cleaned out, I used carb cleaner spray and sprayed it through all the jets and openings in the carb using the small plastic tube that fits on the spray nozzle.
As for those other tubes, sounds like some sort of funky emissions control stuff, maybe to scavenge fuel vapours from the tank? You can probably remove all that stuff and plug the connection to your intake manifold, don't want any vacuum leaks there. |

thanks, I will check float bowl.
I will check and report here.
I learnt from a colleague at work that it is a gas tank breather tube. As gas is pumped out of the tank a vacuum is created and air is pulled into the tank through that tube. Also, the line coming out of the intake-manifold is the for vapor or moisture release OR as you mentioned some sort of emissions thing where vapor is fed back into air-intake for efficient gas mileage. The line from the gas tank goes into the black thing which has 4 holes (is this what is challed a charcoal canister?) and the line coming out of it has a different diameter compared to the air-intake line... I shoved one into another and secured with gorilla tape... |
