My little motor sat for probably 4 years collecting dust.<br /><br />I cleaned up the diaphram, carburator. Spark plugs looked fairly new so I simply cleaned them up a bit (No rust or corrosion).<br /><br />Hooked a tank to it and the motor fired up on the 3rd pull and ran choked, but as soon as I take it off of choke it dies. It will not start while the choke is off but put it back on and it starts again and runs great (As well as expected choked)<br /><br />The impeller was replaced right before I placed it in storage and is pumping water out the exhaust.<br /><br />I plan to buy a carburator rebuild kit this evening and see if that helps. Should I also purchase a diaphram rebuilt kit, do they even sell those?<br /><br />The lean/rich knob was bumped at some point so it is not set right and I have to mess with it just to get it started in choke.<br /><br />I am sure the carb needs rebuilt, but is there anything else I should look at?<br /><br />Sorry for all the questions but I am uncertian what could be the problem other then the carb needs rebuilt (Gaskets etc...)<br /><br />Mark
