Clone won't start

[Green Jelly]

It's just a package 1 clone from nr-racing. It's never been started before. I did a bit of trouble shooting:

• The plug has spark, a good hot blue one
• Carb bowl doesn't have water in it

Choke is on
Kill switch on
Fuel line on
Gas in carb bowl


Mods:

 Open Element Air Filter adapter w/cone style air filter, removal of governor, 18 lb Valve Springs, Small fan, Advanced Timing, and Rejetted carb w/drilled genuine honda jet. 8-9hp. Straight pipe header

- Not sure what # of jet, I'd assume #90

Well it started when I put 1 tsp of gas down the spark plug hole, only ran for about 2 seconds. I'm certain now that the cylinder isn't getting any fuel, I took a look down the spark plug hole as well, the head had no sign of gas on it, bone dry.

It's gravity fed, stock gx200 clone carb with the exception of the genuine honda jet...which may be causing the problem.

Any insight?

I'm assuming you've tried all the various combinations e.g. choke on off, gas on gas off etc..

Next, what I would do is get with the builder let him in on things. Their reputation is in your hand. I have contacted NR racing before - phone and email - and they are very good about responding. Just my 2 cents.

So far it looks like I need a gx140 e-tube, but I'll contact nr tomorrow and get their advice.
