I picked up this motor last year, and it ran poorly - seemed to be starving for gas. I've cleaned the carb and the fuel pump - there was a lot of varnish in the carb, and the fuel pump flushed out a lot of yellow crud. Compression is good.
So three questions.
1) The serial number is B100-101279C. Would this be a 1979 motor?
2) The spark plugs simply had the screw thread where the boot ties into it, but looking inside the boot, the boot looks larger than the screw head (although the boot fit on tightly). When I replace the plugs, should I be leaving the tip on?
3) Anyone know where I can find a fuel pump rebuild kits? I couldn't find one on any of the usual sites, which listed the parts as obsolete.
