Nonlinear dust acoustic solitary waves in a dusty plasma are studied for nonzero kinematic viscosity. Sagdeev's potential can be obtain upto any order in 
. The existence of soliton
solution is determined by pseudopotential approach. It is seen that the electron inertia has
a significant effect on the existence of solitary waves in presence of kinematic viscosity.
