Looking for help starting my AC Crawler. Always started good/easy, but has been sitting for 4 years. Put in fresh gas, charged the battery and have gas at the fuel pump and at the carburator, but only runs long enough to use up the gas I primed it with. Thinking of removing/cleaning the carb jets. Any and all ideas appreciated. Getting it ready to sell, has been in the family since new, but had spine surgery, ending my fun on the this small antique crawler.

You're on the right track penokee, gas that sat for four years through weather changes has probably turned to varnish and sludge. Clean out the whole fuel system and rebuild the carb.:thumbsup: Assuming the spark plugs and mag. are all okay.
