[QUOTE="bob600, post: 27113, member: 2843"] Also, I replaced the mechanical fuel pump with an electrical fuel pump and intitially had much better luck starting the engine with the electrical pump mainly because the other one was leaking and couldn't supply enough gas. After getting the electrical one, which shows a picture of a skid steer on the box, the guy at NAPA told me he could also order a new mechanical one for it just so you'll out there know you can get one if you need it. I had it running and tried to use it. There is still some surging going on. I took apart the carb again and cleaned it. The float was sticking open before when I had the gravity tank set up and all of the gas leaked out, so I tried to adjust the float a little while I had it open to shut off the gas a little earlier, but now I am thinking it might be shutting it off too soon? When it was running with the new pump it had enough pull on the governor that it would acutually pull the throttle handle all the way back unless I held it. If I held it forward I could actually get way more speed and power than I could when I bought the unit and when it was running okay. However after using it to move about one bucket of dirt it stalled out, and then will start again but then stall.
