Abstract
A self-powered aquatic craft for moving individuals and objects through the water. A two-stroke-cycle internal combustion engine is provided with a diaphragm carburetor with an integral fuel pump which permits the craft to operate reliably in any position without flooding the engine. A manually operated priming device is employed in a novel manner to provide corrosion protection to the internal parts of the craft when it is not in use.
