On further inspection, it revs up in neutral to about 1500 and if you hold it there for a moment and release it will idle.down and die.
Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Does anyone know if there is an electric fuel pump on these things and where that might be???
Also verified that the throttle is moving full wide open.
Working on the air bag problem now

Quick sanity check to see if it’s getting fuel is to pull the fuel filter and see if it’s full of fuel. No fuel or fuel not up to the top means you have a problem. All of the fuel lines going to the engine are under suction, so they can suck air but not leak fuel. Need to look at all the fuel lines and anywhere else it can suck air into the fuel line. I trick I use to prime the system is to use a vacuum and put the hose on the outlet, blower side of the vacuum and put it in the fuel filler with a rag around it to pressurize the fuel tank and push fuel to the engine. I usually crack open a line u til is see a constant flow of fuel. I just went through this procedure today and finally got a Newell started. More on that in another thread.
