How much fuel should you see in the sight glass before you attempt to start a stock 22r with OEM Asin carb? Mine reads way below half before I attempt to start. I usually have to hit it with a shot of ether before it will fire if it's been sitting for a day or so. I know it could use a rebuild, but just trying to eliminate other potential issues before I start throwing parts at it.

My float level was set to see half a glass of fuel. With that setting, I would do one pump with throttle and it would start right up. Make sure your accelerator pump is working good

Thanks!! I'll check the accelerator pump, and give you an update. I figured it should be at least half full.

Could be the needle seat. I've heard that after a while they wear out a bit and allow the bowl to drain down some or even completely, after sitting a while not being run or driven. Rebuild time?

Yup. Just pulled it off the other day. I'll let you know my findings once I bolt it back on.
