Okay, I will try cleaning first. Are the parts available if needed? I`m assuming the ball bearing check valve is one piece with no actual ball bearing. Could it also actually be its getting too much fuel and the needle valve needs to be adjusted? Also the recoil pull cord is sluggish or slow and sounds like it needs lubrication or something. Throttle handle is broken but functional. It has a clamp around it, but want to be prepared in case it breaks. Thank you for responding its been four years since I first and last posted, i never really had the time to work on it. If you click on my DCM link it should take you to my post of the motor running. i couldn`t fit in this post.

I did get this Aquabug running recently. I bought the gasket and diaphragm on ebay. I do have question on if anyone knows where i can purchase a throttle handle. The aquabug runs and sounds good but has a small leak coming from part of the carburetor, see in picture, i don't know what its called. any advice would be helpful. Also the starter pulley return sounds like it needs lubrication its slow to return and makes a lot of noise any advice would help. I`m sorry I haven`t responded because I just worked on it a couple of weeks ago. If it wasn`t for all your advice and help, I never would have got this running.

Great, this will come in handy when I get into this project. Thanks

Agreed!

Yes, thanks, I agree. I was Skeptical, but I am still learning how to navigate this site.

Yes I did!

Okay, I honestly didn`t expect all these replies.

Hi, okay so that`s what i`m missing.

Oh Damn, that is a bummer! Thanks for the info.

Okay, so I will need that part also along with maybe a diaphragm. Who do you use for parts. I tried meatballbutch on ebay but couldn`t find any information. Are these parts available?

Nice calm water out there at Cuttyhunk Island

okay, I was looking in the wrong place I`m assuming this controls the air fuel mixture?

Thanks JUST O&R. I would love to get it running. Any help would be appreciated

David I live in NH. I`m a novice at engines. Which screw according to the fourth picture. There are 3 screws left, middle or right?

David, Thanks for the reply. It must be a 1hp (not labeled). Okay, I will search ebay for a intake cover. But it seems like it won`t be to hard to make one. What are my options for the diaphragm? I haven`t tinkered with this for awhile, but would love to get it running. I believe, I cleaned the carb out, replaced the fuel line and cleaned out the gas tank. It has good compression and will start if sprayed with starter fluid. This motor was given to me over 10 years ago with the manual. Unfortunately my 1700`s farm house took priority over all else.

I have one of these Aqua Bug outboards 1.2 hp. It screams when I spray starting fluid into carb, other than that it won`t go. I`m assuming its not getting fuel. My thought is the diaphragm is junk. it is also missing the the carb air intake filter piece. Anyone have info on replacement parts?
