Need help getting to run properly

Ah yes, I know that as the " power valve". I think that the diaphragm can rupture in those, especially if there was a strong backfire. I dont have any true knowledge of those so grain of salt is needed...

It has back fired in the past so ill check that. Do you know the symptoms of a rupture?

Not really. I would pull it and take a look. Perhaps blowing or sucking to make sure the diaphragm is working. The rupture thing is something I read in a magazine 45 years ago, and dont remember details.

I'll definitely take a look. Thanks for your unforgotten knowledge.
