So the two spare motors had little diaphragm pumps on their intake manifolds, so I cracked these open to see if they were OK. One was turbo fucked/perished, but the other looked OK, just felt a little hard.

I gave the good one a jolly good scrub up, as it was a bit grot,

I slapped it on the boat and ran it, but it doesn't seem to pump at all, the diaphragm and one way flaps must be too hard. 

I also confirmed 100% that the choke sticks, and that it starts very well with a dab of engine start.

So yeh, pity the pumps poked, I'll have to try the toat tank idea, and pump the primer if it loses power, to see if that helps. If that does help, then it's new carb time I guess.
