last year it was fine, this year it will not run fast speed,it will idle all day long, but speed it up and blaaaaa, it is like its running out of gas and will die, then choke it and it will restart, new pump ball, new fitting to motor from fuel line, I took apart what appears to be a fuel pump diaphram assy it is clean, gas to the diaphram, what is something or somethings to check, should I put new diaphrams in the fuel pump diaphram or could it be that the carb is sticky, im lost:confused:
