Ok I had planned on getting to this project a long time ago.After fixing the wires the mice had eaten.I was ready to try starting it.As I had noticed before someone had put an electric fuel pump on it.When it would whurl over it seemed to be putting way to much gas into it.Then when I would let off the key it would shoot a little more in though the the little tube that protudes into the bore.I tore down the carb to see if the floot was sunk or the needle was stuck open,but neither seemed to be the case.Also while taking it apart I found out why they had put on an electric pump.The reeds in the pump plate were totally gone.
Question 1 is should I rebuild the carb and stay with the electric or rebuild carb & pump and get rid of the electric.
Question 2 is what should I exspect to pay for a kit?
Also I don't really know how long this has set but I run a compression test and got about 90 psi on both sides is that a good # or is that low?
Oh did I mention this is my first run in with an Onan.
Thanks:thanku:
