My motor went awhile without running. It's used as a kicker. Now it won't start. Checked spark (good), changed gas no luck. Removed and cleaned carb. and noticed bowl was empty. Filled the bulb and installed the carb, engine ran fine until the bowl emptied then it died. The fuel to the pump is unrestricted. Is the pump bad. It runs good until the bowl empties. I didn't see any obvious defects in the pump diaphram. <br />Any help would be reatly appreciated. thanks

Sounds like you are on the right track, Morganb.<br /><br />Does pumping the primer bulb replenish the carb? If so I think your fuel pump needs an overhaul.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

the fuel tank is enternal so there's no priming bulb. If the motor sets for several hours the bulb will fill.
