You'll need the squeeze ball inline on the hose, make sure the ball is installed right.

Before you do any more, do a compression check.
Must be within 5-10# of each other.
Then do a spark test.
Spark checkers(see picture) from any auto parts store, usually about 6-8$

On the bottom cowl there is usually a metal ID tag.
Always include the model, serial# and year.
IF?? it passes the tests?? replace the impeller.
