I bought this last season and the PO had just had it serviced and it ran fine. I noticed at the end of last season it was harder to start but eventually would and run ok after I got it going. I also noticed the fuel pump was cracked around the inlet hose attachments so I got a new pump and put it on yesterday. Of course same issue. Now it won't start by pulling at all. If I put premix fuel right into the cylinders, put spark plugs back in, it fires up right away and runs until the fuel is gone. I can even rev it up a bit and it seems like it's going to run normally but after a few secs it dies. The new fuel pump also pumps fine when running. So I have spark and fuel, but it sounds like it's not getting throught the carb at all. I was going to pull the carb off but man it's tight in there. There's obviously no way to get the carb off without taking a bunch of other things off. I don't have an OEM manual for this (I do for my '81 90). I'm sure a carb kit will be an easy affair but what do I have to do to get this carb off?
