I'm the new owner of this exact Scout. Bought it in May 2010. Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to imbed this video on my blog to show as a starting point.

Adjust tweak the carb, check fuel lines, clean or replace fuel filter.. Also possible bad spark plugs, cable or distributor cap or points.

Thanks for your question.. I'm going to make some assumptions that your Scout has set for awhile & you've had some minor start-up troubles that seem to have gotten worse over time.

I'm thinking that..# 1. Either you may have some water that has gotten into your fuel tank. #2. Fuel tank has never been replaced in last 30yrs & has gummed up w/ dirt & rust particles. #3. Broken, pinched or severely clogged fuel line. #4. Defective fuel pump. #5 Fuel sending unit needs replaced or #6 all above.

i wish my international started. I think i have the firing wrong so it does not start. and when i installed the fuel pump i did not do it right because it does not pump any fuel.
