    Update,

    I have successfully gotten the motor running, it had a faulty float needle in the rebuild kit, there were burrs on the end, causing it to restrict fuel flow. Needed a magnifying glass to figure that out. However, it runs extremely hot. New impeller, but still getting too warm. Next step is pulling the powerhead to clean out the water ports.
