I honestly have no idea, the carb seems as the same age as the engine so I kind of doubt it so could be wrong, but it's been running a mechanical pump n an electrical pump don't know if that's a problem

Ok that makes perfect sense but seems complicated, the carb has been flooding to the point it won't crank anymore. But thanks I'm try that

One more question please, I was thinking about adding a fuel pressure regulator to the electrical pump to convert it to 5-9 psi, how would you recommend that or will that be too much pressure

I read up on it on eBay but doesn't give any conversion info, I'm try and dig deeper into it
