I just made my first attempt at some kind of holliday edible food art whatever. Its a marshmallow octopus .

Made of crispy (but not burnt) blueberry pop tarts cut up and slightly crumbled, I melted on the stove a blueberry jam with butter and marshmallow, and standard twizzlers pieced apart in strips.

Tastes pretty legit despite the armature appearance

So i got a free powermate generator when a neighbor moved I've been trying to get running. It was leaking gas pretty bad so I've got a brand new carb on it, new plug, filters ect. Still Can't get the damn thing to stay running. Starts right up with starting fluid but instantly dies. Not sure how much more time I wanna pit into it.

Is there an in tank strainer that might be clogged?
Drain the gas tank, put in a bit of new fuel, rinse, drain again & fill.
Blow through carb feed line to ensure it's clear.
Does the carb have a good gasket & mounted securely?
Check any vacuum ports/lines for leakage.

Edit: Choke linkage correct?
