Default Homelite 33cc Walbro Carb

I purchased a Homelite 33cc engine from ebay and got it started. I would run unless I held my finger over the air intake creating a choked condition. I figured the pump on the carb wasn't working right so I took everything off the engine and looke for possible air leaks. I took the Walbro carb apart and didn't see any rips or tears in the diaphram. I put it all back together and tried running it. It ran a little better, but it would surge and really wouldn't run unless it was at full throttle and then it wasn't running at full speed. I tried adjusting the needle valves with little or no change. I then opene up the carb and looked at the diaphram. It has some gas on the vent side. I don't think it's supposed to get gas on that side. I inspected the diaphram and still couldn't find any rips, tears, or punctures. I'm thinking I need a rebuilt kit. Where do you get those? I would appreciate any other suggestions for correcting this problem. Thanks
