If it has been sitting any length of time you always want to change the impeller even if it is pumping water. Those rubber fins will get brittle and break apart and possibly cause way bigger problems. Its 10 to 15 bucks and fairly easy on those motors (other than that little pr%ck shift shaft linkage). As far as your starting/running problem I'd be willing to bet its your carb. I usually pull them apart check everything out before I do a full rebuild. Usually you can get away with disassembling and soaking in carb cleaner over night then blow it out with some air. If its been sitting for ten years I'd go ahead and change the fuel lines under the hood too or you'll probably be pulling your carb back apart in a day or two to clean those little rubber flakes out of it ( learned this lesson first hand).</p></blockquote><p></p>
