Picked up a 450 at a yard sale, couldn't get it to start on site before purchase, negotiated a reduced price.
Took it home, put fresh 92 octane 50:1 pre-mix in it, still wont pop or run. With starting fluid sprayed into an air nozzle dried combustion chamber, wont even pop. Holding thumb over spark plug hole resukts in good pushback so compression seems decent. Decompression valve is functional, and I kept it in the closed position.
After 10 pulls, fuel is pouring out the exhaust. Held throttle wide open and tried to purge fuel, still wont pop.
Spark is evident and blue.
I ordered a replacement carb with rebuild kit with fuel line from Flea-bay and a coil from Husqvarna.
By reading the google results the main causes of Huskies not starting after sitting is ethanol damaged carbs and bad ignition coils. Other causes are skipped timing on the flywheel, and magnets that are covered in grime.
Am I missing anything in my testing?
If the carb and ignition coil don't work, gonna take it to the local Juskie repair shop
