Just pulled the spark plug and pedalled around like you said. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to know when to stop? I don't want to seize it.
No start with the clip moved. Might still be flooded. Have no earthly idea how to tell.
Where can I get a gasket from that doesn't involve waiting for a month for an ebay delivery from china?
Not an expert here but just so you can have a quick reply. I read that you keep doing it til the fuel&oil stops coming out. It won't seize, afaik.
No point in even trying to adjust the carburetion until the intake leak is fixed. Probably safer that it doesn't start.
Fiber gasket material can be bought as a sheet from any auto repair shop. Just cut out the shape of the intake manifold surface using a craft knife. The stock one is so cr@p you can't do worse.
Check for leaks elsewhere on the intake by spraying starting fluid on the outside of it, after/if you have the engine running.
