I'd sure like to play with that engine. Use only very good quality fuel hose. Comet Kart Sales has a good hose in the Arrow Kartech black fuel line. I use their bright orange line. It is also soft. I no longer safety wire hoses. I use the plastic snap clamps. Never had a leak.
Kurt has the thought that maybe there's an issue with the second carb you tried, as well as the first. I had that issue in '11 at Bakersfield. I just couldn't get the fuel up to the carbs. Turned out to be a bad carb. It was a freshly rebuilt carb with new diaphragms, needle and seat. We did everything that experienced mechanics can do, and none of us could find an issue with engine or installation. I switched out carbs when I got home, and it ran fine. Ted
