Bad Vaporizer?

82 clark c500-30
vff30 lockout
model j vaporizer
ca-100 mixer

Wont start. Checked spark: good.
put vacuum to lockout and it opens
with vacuum on lockout, no hiss out of vaporizer unless I push the prime button.

Is that normal or is the vaporizer bad?

That's normal, engine vacuum draws the vapor in. Check the diaphragm in the mixer.

Fact of the week
Construction of the Sydney Opera House became so costly that the New South Wales government introduced a series of public lotteries to raise the funds needed to continue. A total of 496 lotteries and 86.7 million tickets raised $102 million between 1957 and 1986.
