[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 334409, member: 3278"] Would suspect debris in the carbs as well. Word of caution here. Unless your "buddy" really knows what he is doing you two can spend a lot of money throwing parts at the engine until it runs. Think about it. Common sense says that if you had a lot of debris in the fuel system then some made its way into the carbs. Since the engine jumped and then started running poorly I would spend the half hour of labor at a [u][b]GOOD[/b][/u] authorized shop and let them diagnose the issue. Hint....a fly-by-night operation will just replace parts until the engine runs and feed you a line of BS along the way. An authorized shop will charge more per hour but they generally know what they are doing an have the proper test equipment as well. No, the power pack has nothing to do with pump operation. Yes, dirty carbs can impede flow. [/QUOTE]
