www.twocylinderdiesel.com was off the air for a day or so as I
forgot to renew the name so the powers that be removed it until
they got paid.

As for your question, the pony uses a suction line to pull fuel to
the carb so it is pretty easy for it to get gummed up/bent and not
start well.   Once started does it run ok?
