[QUOTE="huntingbronco, post: 189440, member: 4508"] Craig - thanks. I squeezed the bulb - it got firm and held pressure. (It did not get soft while running.) Operating the engine at everything but very fast required choke to maintain operation. This was in a tank, no prop. I'll look into symptoms regarding fuel pumps. Seems to me with all of the jets cleaned and float functioning, it would not likely be the carb. I did not dissasemble the need valve above the float, it was washed really well from above and blow and it seemed to move freely. Pretty simple single carb setup. Of course, I might have overlooked something in the reassembly. How does a fuel pump needing a rebuild evidence itself? [/QUOTE]
