So yesterday, I noticed the bottom carb was leaking gas and idling vertically, I took it apart, cleaned, no leak, fired right up. Came back 2 hrs later and nothing, firing, but won't turn over, killed ylthe battery. I'm charged over night and tried quickly this morning, same deal, not the manual primer bulb is hard.

You may want to watch my videos Parts 1, 2 and 3 - engine won’t start. It turned out to be small jets in carburetors and fuel enrichener replaced.
If primer bulb is hard it is either primed or the plastic is too old. I never use the bulb now except if I haven’t started the Sportjet XR120 in months!
Let me know how it turns out. Good luck!

I watched all of them, thank you, would you think it's flooded?

And stop using the bulb is what your saying, also I followed your video and have hooked up.the water while running, this is ok correct?"

The fuel enrichener was not working. When I primed too much fuel went into the carbs. After the needle valves were replaced and carbs cleaned and a new enrichener installed the engine started fine and no leaks.
When I replaced the starter it even started better!! I should have changed or cleaned the starter years ago. If you decide to change starter they are very reasonable on EBay but it is tedious. Make sure you put clothes all around in case you drop nuts and screws!!!

Fuel enricher, is that something that can be cleaned? Where and what exactly does it do? Thanks again

I took it apart but did not put it together and retry.
