Took my carb out to clean it, and now fuel is not flowing into the carb when I try to start it. Any idea?.

Did you check....

1.  Check if their is GAS in the tank.
2.  Maybe the fuel is OFF turn it ON.
3.  Start it while giving it GAS and see if it might start up..

That's all that I can think of :-\

step 1: first make sure there is gas in the tank. i hope so
step 2:then pull the gas line off the carb with the gas off, then put the line in a small clear bottle to catch the gas, then turn on the gas and see if it flows.

if it flows go to step 5 if it doesnt flow go to step 3.

step 3: if it does not flow then take the fuel like off and turn the gas on again put something there to catch the gas.
step 4:if it doesnt flow then drain the tank and clean the petthingy.

step 5: if the gas flows thru the line then you need to make sure the fuel can flow into the carb.
step 6: if the gas doesnt flow take the carb off and make sure the float is moving freely so that fuel can flow.

If after all that. then i am as of no help to you.

On the eton tanks there is a small (very small) inline filter under the tank. it gets clogged easy. pull it out..
