Re: flooding 6hp

UPDATE:

Fleetwin, I stand corrected. I took 1 step further and hooked up the fuel line, with the pump off the motor. Primed the fuel line and the pump started squirting fuel out of the diaphragm hole.

I switched out the boss gasket on the carb and no more flooding. Just goes to show that appearances can be deceiving; the original gasket was the neoprene/rubber type and still flexible, but must not have been pliable enough to still make a seal.

I will reassemble everything in the next 1/2 hour and report back.
