Picked this motor up the other day for $160. Looks good,good compression been stored for 6 months. It started on the third pull but wouldnt pump water. I put a new water pump in and it pumps great now. The problem is it starts easily but when you push the choke in it runs a few seconds an dies. If you pull the choke back out before it dies and push it in again it will keep doing the same thing. I put new plugs in it and took the carb off and cleaned it. It wasnt that bad but, you never know about jets. The fuel pump seems to be keepin gas to the carb but it still runs a few seconds an dies. You can pull the choke and it will start back easy. Im confused to if its still the carb or the fuel pump? Any help appreciated. Thanks,Brian
