It's a manual start, long shaft. Well used. We've had a few things go wrong
over the years....but, in general it has been an incredibly reliable engine.
After a couple of strokes on the primer knob, it has always started on the first pull.
Now, it doesn't. The linkages do seem to be depressing the diaphragm button.
I'm guessing the diaphragm itself is torn. The question is: am I going to have
to take the carburetor out of the engine to remove the diaphragm cover and replace
the diaphragm?? If so, I may wait until the boat comes out of the water at the
end of the season....
