I'm no expert on these, however I did stay at a Holiday in last night, I have been a mechanic most of my life, Im 61. Will it stay idling? If you put your hand partial over the intake will it stay running, if you and open the throttle will it rev? If so your jetting is to lean. Also if i'm not mistaken many of these engines use a separate winding in the stater for the ignition, powering up may have nothing to do with the section of the stater that powers the ignition what does the spark look like? is it crisp and blue or weak? Put a screw in the spark plug wire and hold it an eighth of an inch from your spark plug and start your engine, is it crisp and blue?"Could it be too much air rushing into the carb to the point to where it basically smothers it???"To much air and not enough fuel is a lean mixture, (jetting to lean.
