Hey everyone, I took the advice and decided to see if my GSL would start. The usual problems but narrowed it down to plugged gas line. put a short line into a separate can, cranked, it filled a jar, hooked it back on the carb, cranked and she fired up - no choke, no gas pedal, just started! have since pulled the tank, had to use a drill bit by hand to unplug lines, of course parts are hard to find, waiting for a gasket to put the lines back in, I am so jacked, will send a pic next time.

Good show! Many 'carb problems' are really dirty tank problems. Replace the lines while you're under there. Have fun!
