[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 449511, member: 3278"] [size=5]That may have been ONE of your issues but a failing valve in a primer bulb will not make the engine run with choke on vs not. Think about it. The only thing the primer bulb does is fill the fuel bowl. It has zero to do with mixture once the bowl is full. Your statement of "will run with the choke on but closing it will kill the motor" indicates a carb issue. Glad you got the carb kit. Secondly, your statement that the engine will run for as little as 20 seconds or as long as 15 minutes contradicts the other statement. Your fuel pump should pull fuel no matter if you have a leaking valve or not. You may eventually need a kit for that as well. One thing at a time though. You are definitely on the right track.
