[QUOTE="dasbinder, post: 352648, member: 13345"] Thanks Pappy, I was hoping to get it running before started taking it apart. I made a temporary diaphragm; the old one was cracked and brittle Now the motor starts and runs [img]https://i.imgur.com/vP0c92Jl.jpg[/img] This leak is troubling; looks like fuel/oil diluted with water [img]https://i.imgur.com/iKmwtIQl.jpg[/img] Carb is clean and functioning properly accept... The Main screw needle is loose and will vibrate open if you don't pay attention. If I turn it all the way closed, the motor will not start/run. Turn it any more than 1-turn and it just vibrates until its wide open. Your recommendation? 1. Change impellers; this model has two 2. Change ALL lower seals; there is not water in the gear oil [/QUOTE]
