Sounds like someone tried to adjust the carb when it probably was just dirty. Major cause of broken needles is screwing with them when they don't need it. Carbs don't just go out of adjustment, it takes happy fingers. New impeller is great! No dry running now, not even just a pull on the rope. Get out there and catch some fish. [thumbsup]

This topic reminds me of when I would sell my old beater car and fill it with Honey Oil. LOL Honey oil makes a beater sound great until you find out that Honey Oil dosent clean out very well. I had a Datsun dealer get p'oed at me . I said oh well.Hahaha
