(disconnect your plug wires so she wont fire up) If it's good, you will see a good flow from the fuel line when you turn 'er over, but make sure the fuel is caught in a container and not on or in the motor. If you have a filter on the line, that's a good place to disconnect to check fuel flow, and also check the filter for any restriction, and check to see if your choke is closing fully.
