So now that freezing temperatures are gone i went out and put water in the radiator and it dumped out the bottom so i crawled underneath and im assuming i blew a freeze plug. The water was coming out of a round role above the starter. Its about a 1.5" to 2" hole.

So we went to start it to get it moved into the driveway to get the freeze plug fixed and it started and quickly died. Ive pulled the venturi cluster assembly and blown it out to make sure no crud is in the passages and i pulled the top off the carb and verified that theres no crap in that brass straw that sticks into the fuel bowl. So im thinking that the engine isnt getting fuel but why i havent figured out.
