As title states. It turns and turns until I put my hand in front of a specific intake then it it starts and runs perfect. Jet nozzle? Anyway to clean without taking apart?
The intake in the air filter box is situated at the rear of that part, so are you blocking that, as the way you worded your question leaves doubt in my mind just what you are blocking with your hand?
You would have to have at least the seat and shelter (cover over the filter box) off to block the actual intake.
Have you checked the Choke cable? It's under the air cleaner housing.
Seafoam can be good and bad, if you use too much it can cause the plugs to foul. You might want to pull the plugs and clean them.
Also replace ALL the old fuel with some fresh stuff.
You probably have a carb cleaning in your future.
