Well, no go.
I took out the filter in the carb bowl. I reversed the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carb because it has to take a sharp turn so I wanted to be sure there was no restriction.
Here’s a pic of the pump installation.
and here’s a pic of the gas line to the carb and the plug in the background.
I did have gas come out of the line when disconnected from the carb but I wouldn’t say it was streaming, especially because I can’t get the engine to run much without pumping the bulb.
I took the pump apart and made sure the diaphragm and gaskets were installed correctly by me. They are brand new.
I’m literally having to pump the primer bulb like I’m doing CPR. I’m really having to work hard at it.
I added Sea Foam to the tank.
If I stop pumping the bulb the engine starts sputtering right away. It really is no better a low throttle or higher throttle.
