[QUOTE="airshot, post: 507942, member: 1183"] Get an actual factory rebuild kit for the carb...do a complete rebuild, all the passages need a wire run thru and blown out with compressed air. Sitting for years is hard on everything, gasoline deteriorates and gums everything up, then you add fresh fuel which loosens up all the crud and sends it thru the carb to clog it all up... I would stiil replace the water pump impellor, if it goes out miles from the launch ramp you will have a long row job and when they go out, they often fry the engine beyond repair. No warning when they fail, if the motor is worth fixing, then fix it right !! [/QUOTE]
