new to me 1979 9.8HP 2 stroke

had a pee problem, got the pee problem fixed. new impeller.

Cleaned the carb. cleaned out fuel hoses, replaced if needed.

It will start, if i put fuel into the carb, and it will stay running, but not at idle. the bulb stays firm once running. i plan on getting some seafoam to run through the gas and into the cylinders. i do get the occasional small backfire as well.

there is no fuel spilling through the carb once the reservoir is full..

any ideas?
