I don't understand how that carburetor is pumping gas to the cylinder while being open on top?

[@baltamontaner5422]

The fuel is being sucked by the crank case suction pressure, created by the piston when travels up. What do you mean open? Carburetor has 2 hoses, one at the bottom and another one at the top.

@@baltamontaner5422 Im trying to fix a machine like yours as a hobby. And I don't think my machine is creating the vacume needed to suck in the gas through the carb, and so I was wondering if it had anything to do with the carb being open on top. Got any ideas?

@@linclip that’s what I did. Engine has been stopped the last 20 years. I cleaned every piece and bought a carburator kit online. New spark plug, new hoses and new fuel pump. At the end of the video (last second) you can see a photo of the hoses from the tank to the carburator

@@baltamontaner5422 hmmm well I could try taking it apart and cleaning it out. Funny thing is it runs sometimes, but only for a sec or two.

@@linclip that means that you have compression and spark, so work on the fuel side. Maybe more priming , maybe try half choke and fuel will fill up better the engine
