[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 519629, member: 3278"] [B]Those lower units are pretty bulletproof as far as seals go. Check the fluid and if it is not milky do not re seal it. Keep it simple. Don't worry about the rattle right now. The engine was only running on one cylinder. Find and fix that first. Lots of times the starter assemblies on those rattle quite a bit. Running on one will make it worse sounding. Remove the carb and get an OEM carb kit and do the job completely, not half way. Pull the fuel pump away from the block assembly and pump your primer bulb and see if fuel shoots from the pump. This is simple to do and will definitely kill a cylinder if leaking. Again....keep it simple. One thing at a time. [/B] [/QUOTE]
