Good that you have it sorted , but I , for one would still like a pic or two because even tho I have searched/googled ( largely useless )diagrams I still dont really understand what your carb is about . You have piqued my interest :D and Im just wanting to learn a bit .

Your picture shows a PRIMER PUMP.-----Find out how to use it for starting the motor.
Being mine has the primer pump which I understand its operation but what confuses me is this emblem showing a twist motion to shut the fuel off.
Any incite?

Here's a basic diagram of this setup with the exception is mine uses a primer pump and has no choke plate and shaft.

My 4 HP deluxe is one where it has its own tank under the cowl. That's where you turn it off. Perhaps the sticker goes to each.

Does the fuel run through it or does it steal from the carb? Is your primer functioning correctly?

Got it , that tube is an air corrector tube , it feeds metered air down into the main jet to emulsify the fuel .
Thanks :):)
