yES, WHERE THE COOLING WATER COMES FROM, JUST BELOW THE HEAD OR TOP OF THE MOTOR. wELL THAT IS GOOD, THAT IT IS GETTING WATER. iN THAT CASE IT IS LIKELY A CARB ISSUE BUT YOU COULD STILL CHECK THE COMPRESSION, IF YOU HAVE A TESTER OR YOU COULD CALL THE GUY UP THAT SOLD YOU THE MOTOR AND ASK IF HE EVER HAD THAT PROBLEM. aLSO ASK, HOW LONG THE MOTOR HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THE LAST TIME IT WAS USED. oTHER THAN THAT ALL i COULD SUGGEST IS GETTING SOME CARB CLEANER AND WHEN YOU GET THE MOTOR STARTED AGAIN, SPRAY SOME DOWN THE THROAT OF THE CARB TO SEE IF THAT HELPS.
Opps sorry about the caps, I didn't notice they were on.
