It will run properly once you get it to start,it will then start with little effort.Its like the carby isn't getting fuel. They recommend on initial start up to pump the primer about 20 times but this now does not work.The choke is a vacuum type solenoid,so basically it is on till the engine starts and then the vacuum pulls the choke off.could it be the system is sucking air??The primer bulb seems to do nothing.
