SUCCESS!!
Removed the short connector hose going to the carb line. Cut a longer hose and installed it!
I finally just quit trying to work around everything and removed the alternator and brackets. With enough room to work, a cloudy-coolish day, and 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night, my brain fog lifted enough for me to get this tiny step completed!
With that success - I got the stihl chainsaw out and removed its carb. Shot everything with carb cleaner. Rerouted the air line to its proper location to get the kink out of it (Why in the heck do I pay someone else to do these things and then find that it wasn't done correctly???)
But it did not correct the 'no start problem'. I have spark. I have air. I have fuel that isn't filling the bowl; which tells me I do not have the carb clean. I didn't clean the jet so that's probably the issue.
Will try again tomorrow.
Went for a 2 mile walk with the dog and for some reason my cat decided to go with us. Walk awhile then sit and whine. Get up and walk some more then lay down and do cutie-pies in the dirt. Get up and walk some more and chase the dog. She is a strange cat.
Weeded the flower garden of the big stalks. Just 10 days til Valentine's Day and with no one to cut and bring me flowers anymore, I figured I needed to make it easier to do it myself.
Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, so I'm going to try siphoning out the gas tank on the Chrysler.
