Thanks for the responses.

Let me give more details. The engine fires up fine when I put gas or
carb cleaner in the carb intake and I can keep it running by
continuing to feed it manually.

I have a camera but the link is at the office. I've been to
www.briggsandstratton.com and downloaded the parts list - have a look
at the pdf file at http://shop.briggsandstratton.com/BS...ngineType=2288.
The engine number is 80202 2288 88071903. The machine was new in
1989.

Wayne: I think its the newer style of carb but it just has a plain
spring loaded jet. Appreciate your thoughts. M - Houston.

you said you replaced the "diaphram". if you did not replace the
"reed" valve, do so. it is a synthetic gasket like thingy that has
two 'flappers' that "pump" the petro. --Loren
