did you ever get to put the fuel pump together with all its parts? sounds like its time for a carb rebuild.

Yeah I got it all back together right...and when I bought it the guy so say put a brand new carb kit in it like a few weeks before selling it to me but I'm going to take it down and take it apart and clean it and check it out cause I never took it down since I had it

dont fully remove the rope start to get at the port side carb nut!!! just remove the two 5/16 bolts and carefully move it just enough to get a wrench in there. ( the rope guide may fall out completely, but its not hard to get back into place)
