My first post to this website -- thanks in advance for your help! Recently while trouble shooting a fuel line clog on my older 743 I removed the little round pump on the side of motor and reinstalled it the same as it came off. The problem was at the filter... Now, the motor will only start if I prime it with starter fluid (which I know is bad for it). Once it's running all seems fine, but as soon as the motor cools off it won't start again -- even if I hit the glowplugs for 90 sec. Is it possible that little pump is bad, or could I have installed it incorrectly? p.s. when I crank it over very little smoke comes out the exhaust...so I don't think it's getting fuel. Any thoughts?
