[QUOTE="140mower, post: 3588, member: 447"] Hi there, While I have no experience with your model, I've been playing with small engines in garden tractors etc for years. To confirm it is a fuel delivery problem you could use a fuel tank from an outboard engine placed above the engine and gravity feed it. If it fires right away I'd say your pump is shot, and most can be rebuilt of that vintage. If parts are not available or the pump can't be rebuilt, you can bypass it using a small electric pump in it's place. if the engine hasn't been run for a long time, it would be a good idea to remove the carb and dismantle and clean real well as they can get gummed up pretty good as the fuel evaporates off. Be sure to clean all the passages real good as they are small and the slightest restriction will effect performance. One other thing I'd do is confirm you don't have a restriction in the fuel line going back to the tank, this can be done by blowing air into the line and listening at the filler cap. If there is fuel in the tank you should hear the air bubbling, if it only hisses, you may have a broken pick-up tube inside the tank. Hope some of this is of some value to you. Let us know how you make out, and hopefully someone more familiar with your machine will chime in soon. Don [/QUOTE]
