Yesterday the Samurai was running like a champ and today, it wont even start. It turns over strong no problem so my initial thought was it ran out of gas cause the gas guage doesnt work, so I got a gas can and filled er up which it wasnt even empty but still nothing. so I checked the carb and when you press the gas no fuel shoots into the carb so I put in a new fuel filter and nothing so whats next??

Check to see if your getting gas to the carb. Then check the sight glass on the side of the carb to see the fuel in the float bowl. If fuel to the carb but nit in the bowl, then you either got a stuck float valve or there is a small screen inside the filter that can get plugged. You might have to pull the top on the carb and clean it. I think Ack has a link to a write up for cleaning it.

Might want to put a low pressure gauge on it (1 to 5 PSI) and
see if you have fuel pressure, you may have a bad fuel pump
