Another possible issue is a bad fuel pump diaphram. And replacing the fuel pump diaphram is a lot easier than rebuilding the carb! It''s easily accessible if you follow the fuel hose back from the carb to where the pump is installed against the cylinder block. Can replace it in under 15 minutes. And a diaphram is only a buck or two. Carb is the more common problem, but why eliminate the cheap and easy stuff first?
