quote westwind:

The carb appears to be gravity feed. Would an old diaphragm maybe be too stiff to open the needle valve properly? I see there is a carb kit still available.

On a positive note, I checked the lower unit and it was full of oil with no water so the seals seem OK.

Don’t discard the thought of a fuel pump bladder until you take a look. Possibility on the stiff diaphragm. Also it must be air tight and leak free. Otherwise the suction won’t lift it to open the needle.
