Richard,
Wow. . .thanks for the details. I went out this morning and looked at it closely in the light. The link between the choke and the diaphragm came off?? I reattached it, but still no luck with starting. Should there be a nut or something holding that linkage between the choke and diaphragm or should the pressure between the two hold it in place? As long as I hold the start button in, it will chug. The diaphragm makes a "air sucking" sound when I pull in and out on the lever. Can that diaphragm be changed without a whole lot of hassle?? I pulled the air intake off the carb and when I hit the start button, it had little "spits" of gas coming out of the choke hole?? Could the fuel pump still be bad? Again, thanks for all of your help!!!
