Bought a 1992 8 hp 2 stroke and rebuilt the carb, fuel pump etc.
Started and ran for a while on the bench but then not. Not certain of the correct setting for the SLOW NEEDLE. I tried 1 1/2 turns. Played with it a bit.
Anyway, it's getting fuel but it will only start if I hold open the THROTTLE FLAP by hand. Also, not certain of which way the DIAPHRAGM COVER goes on OR if it makes a difference. Guy before me worked on the motor and may have gotten it backwards. Any ideas?
