[QUOTE="RandyL, post: 123338, member: 20139"] [B]I will hopefully clear up a bit about my own fuel system. Once my fuel line enters the engine compartment, from the fuel shut off and filter, it changes from steel line to rubber tubing. I replaced all the rubber tubing. My machine does not have any electronic solenoids in-line or in the carb as some do. When I went through my engine I wanted a new fuel pump only because it is difficult to reach and I did not know the age of it. I bought a new mechanical fuel pump from an auto parts, all seemed fine until I found that the choke would not work. The linkage hit the outlet tube of the new pump. I could not find a duplicate of my original pump. After a couple of weeks I considered using a choke cable instead of hard linkage. I hook that all up and did not like it. I could imagine water getting in the cable and freezing in the winter....back to square one. After an even longer search, I indeed found the exact fuel pump and all worked out perfectly. On the photos attached you will see the difference of the 2 pumps and why the outlet cannot come out the side. It must come straight out of the top to clear everything.[/B] [/QUOTE]
