I recently got this motor for free. It was apparently running 2 days before i got it. It needed a new diafram for the fuel pump. I got it and installed it being careful how i did it. It has great compression and lots of spark. Airs not the problem either. Im thinking its my fuel tank. Its an older metal tank with the 3 hookups on the top. This motor only requires 1 hose for fuel. Fuel is very slow coming out of it. However when we moved the hose to the fuel fill spot on the tank and pumped fuel that way it still didn't want to start. I was never really taught about motors so now in my 30's im struggling to catch up. Side note this motor also had no tiller arm so im best guessing the starting point on the throttle. Any help you motor gods can give would be great.
