after taking my carb off the other day, and the fuel inlet needle coming out and putting it back in, now it wont start unless a pour a bit of gas in the carb. Theres a part on my carb i forget what ts called, i just push it down and it puts some gas in the carb. thats the only way i can get it to start real fast, then once i do, it wont start started if i hit the gas (i have to hit it real slowly, and its hard backing upwards out of my driveway, damn hill)

Did you replace the needle valve correctly? It's easy to reverse it.

Im pretty sure I replaced it correctly. My carbis the 1920. I put the point of the needle pointing outwards from the carb. Im not sure what my fuel pressure is. How can I check it??

damn! I checked the choke last night and it was still open in idle so the needle being backwards makes sense now!
