The sad part is, the flooding carbs could likely be cured with new needle & seat orings, which get hard and shrink after being exposed to todays pump gas……then sitting around dry for a few years.
When he was messing with the accel pumps and how they weren't working, that should have been the FIRST clue that other items using that type of material maybe rock hard/shrunk... like N&S o-rings.
What a mess. Trusting carbs that have been sitting for a couple years and not knowing if they were emptied or allowed fuel to evap off. The carb acting like old faithful when getting primed. Stop right there and straighten it out. Sheesh.
My other favorite part was when they were doing the test to find TDC compression on #1 with the cap off just trying to break off the tab on that rotor. Total lack of organization or problem solving.
That whole thing made UTG random idiocy seem smart. Oh the humanity. :)
