    Carberator

    Carb does not have a vent cap, elbow filter is clear. I can add gas through the elbow with the fuel line off and see air excape so there must be a plugged vent somewhere. I blew everything out with compressed air and will try again. Not sure where vent is but apprciate the suggestions.
