I've been following this thread with interest - it seemed to be water related, or my bet was on something not together right in the carbs.

Here's the thought - is it possible to flush the carbs with gas by opening the bowl drain screws and hitting the starter?

No because all you would really be doing is running the gas into the float bowls and right out the drain. It wouldn't be traveling through any of the jets.

Yup.

I think in hindsight I should have suggested some drygas or a fuel treatment for ethanol issues.

It would have solved your issue in 24 hours.

I've got some already added to the fuel to take care of any other problems that may be involving the fuel, but you were dead on about spraying gas down the carbs to get it going.

My main problem seemed to be getting the gas moving into the engine.

you mean getting something moving that would burn.
