the carb gaskets on my eska 5.5 are shot espessicaly the pump diaphragm so i put on a carb from a tecumseh lawn mower i can get the motor to full throttle now but the problem is when it gets jerking back and forth in the barrel it starts to loss power and im thinking its because the lawnmower carb is just gravity feed if i hold the motor in the barrel from jerking when running it will stay full throttle so im thinking if im out fishing and there is a small wave the motor wont run right. the original carb would run but not very good it would surge up and down and when i took the carb off the gasket that mounts to the motor was half gone and when i took off the pump gasket it was just as bad i checked on line at sears but the parts i need are no longer available any more anybody know where i might be able to find them thanks
