Take a guess what the problem was

-Gss good, changed carbs to a new one, still nothing.

You drained the Gss from the fuel tank and refilled with gasoline?

I bet that was the fix.

They are found in the Lansing area, not too far away.

Hmm. We don't really have them up here (I suppose it would be considered North-West MI) either. Plenty of paper wasps, but no problem with mud daubers, luckily. Stink bugs, on the other hand

Pretty sure i read somewhere that mud daubers plugged up a pitot tube on a commercial airplane a long time ago and it crashed. So im all for banning mud daubers now.

True story.... Even a partially blocked pitot tube can result in overrunning runway during landing. After much investigation, it was discovered that the daubers could move in within 15 minutes of a plane landing.

HENCE: They instituted special procedures which included inspection and covering the pitot tube EVERY time a plane lands.

Bingo

The spark screen was clean but the pipe which is about an inch long was completely plugged. The mud was far enough back from the exhast opening that it was hidden.
I almost threw this thing away to get it off my bench.

Did it not sound funny? I guess you could not start it to find out, they must have done it in 1 day so you had no comparison.

It didnt make any sound as it wouldnt fire at all. there was a 2 week period between when i used it successfully abd when it wouldnt start.
