sounds like a no fuel issue...could be as simple as cleaning the petcock and taking the carb apart and cleaning it
Do a compression check before you buy it. If this dude is using that much either to start a cold motor the rings are probably shot. Starting fluid instantly washes all the oil from everything it comes in contact with.
Thanks for your guys help. Now if it does have good compression do i need to just clean the carb. or is could there be a different issue besides the carb. and rings. thanks
well blasters seem to run perfectly fine at 120psi. no one has had a problem with that compression as far as i know. in fact yb ran his motor at 120psi for 6 years and was still running fine when he tore it down to start his build
i think its the carb also, but if it doesnt fix it make sure the float bowl is working cuz that could be causing fuel not to enter the intake.
if that guy is using starting fluid........there is gonna be more issues than u think, starting fluid has no lubes in it, so its like starting the engine dry
u can seize a engine real fast using starting fluid

yeah you shouldent have to start it up with starting fluid, its probaly the top end.
