    Any ideas please on this continuing problem.  There is spark.  There is fuel getting to float chamber and then to the main jet which is clear, and after churns, there is fuel dripping out of the manifold overflow pipe.  BUT no wet plugs at all, they are as dry as a bone, even after no accelerator or accelerator pressed. Would you expect to have wet plugs after numerous attempts?  – i.e. flooded?  Compression test shows enough compression, so supposedly enough suck.  I am stumped.   If I can answer this one, I have more confidence to start with fuel cans above the engine to by-pass stale fuel in the tank.

    Thanks any views
