Fuel lines like to deteriorate from the inside out as well.
Got to have a good filter with a finicky carb or your always screwin with the damn thing. Hate messing with those things

I ordered a new carb an hour ago, it's taken to much of my time already and it still won't run even with the setting from the service manual. Even after dressing the points with a file and resetting them all I can do is get it to barely idle with and I have fuel running out of the intake. I found a 3cyl Yanmar diesel on E-Bay so I my do a repower if this keeps up.

Mine has a rubber nose on it so that's not the problem. The Yanmar's I have seen have all been black but they were all in Deere 332's and 430's.
Yea, Yanmars were an ugly lite green for a number of years. -

Doesn't matter. That's the auto fuel shut off on those carburetors. Rubber or not, they require a seat and is the problem. It's the only way fuel can gravity feed into the manifold, (that much anyway). There's nothing stopping it.

I can get this one cheaper than I can a gas engine.

I replaced the seat cup and the valve when I went through the carb this summer and all the part's are there that I put in it.

I didn't mention the obvious float problems that can occur, like being bent or having a pin hole in one, fills with fuel which prevents the float from coming up and seating the valve.

More power ? Shoot, a 3 cylinder, it would have to be.

Yeah I am just tired of it, the problems started when I put the new fuel pump and which leads me to believe that it's just worn out and can't handle the increased pressure and flow from the new pump. It's 33 years old and was never touched before I got it from what I can see and I dug into it I could see pitting, rust, and oxidation from the ethanol in the fuel.
I am really tempted to do the repower but I just can't justify it right now even though it's really cool.....

I will get it running, I had a nagging feeling that not replacing it earlier was going to come back and bite me in the *** later.
