As far as the pumping diaphragms go tou use either the black rubber type one or the yellowish one not both the yellowish one is more for ethanol fuel more resistant to get ate up but the black ones move alittle easier. Personally i use the black ones bc i run 100ll fuel

Unfortunately that kit doesn't come with the black diaphragm. And the gasket should be below the metering diaphragm, but I can pull it apart and check again. I checked for for obstructions but there wasn't any, there was also fuel in there when I opened it up after I tried starting it, so I know fuel is getting to it. I checked for spark and there is spark but I don't know how much spark there is supposed to be.

Its easier for me to do a tillotson hs not the hl like you got but yes when doing the metering diaphragms the gasket goes down then the metering diaphragm the pumping diaphragm is the exact opposite pump then gasket. Check when you have the carb apart hold it upright and depress the lever and make sure the needle drops down

Will it even attempt to start? You might give it a little mix down the carb throat and see it it tries to start that way.

Well I tried that the other day and it worked, but tried again tonight but I think I flooded it out.

That was gonna be my next reply pull the plug and see if its wet if it is use a rubber tipped blow gun and blow some compressed air down in The cylinder for awhile to dry it out.

I'm pretty sure though that I have my gasket down before my pumping diaphragm.

I'm going to change out the fuel filter and spark plug today. Any ideas if it won't start after I rearrange my pump gaskets and put in the new filter and spark plug?

The HL series are little different i know for 100% that the HS are done that way. I need to look at a HL to be sure. Google tillotson HL series carb breakdown it will bring up a carb schematic of sorts.

The parts brakedown explains it pretty well where your gasket diaphragms go. The daytons looks nice does it run?

I haven't tried it yet, I will put a new spark plug and a bit of gas in it and try it this evening.

Any idea what the bent piece is by the muffler on this image? Also it appears I need to bend the clutch cover back down to fit under the lip of the fuel tank and carb housing?

Hey @txtroop i don't know if you remember seeing this on Craigslist or not, but it was a Homelite with a Bow over in Tyler for $70. Now it's on EBay for $450 using the same photo that was on Craigslist.

Not real sure on the bent piece, but yes you gotta make sure you get the top of the clutch cover under the frame or itll crack the cover there all difficult to get under there

Yea mine is cracked, I just noticed it a second ago.

I also have an update on the C-5 it will start and accelerate hard without throttle as long as the choke is on, when you let off the choke it dies.

 

[Boomer 87]

If it will run choked but not unchoked its not gettin enough fuel, what your doing when running it choked is your cutting of alot of air so the air it is getting is the rigjt mixture then you shut the choke off it gets way more air than fuel and dies off
