Fuel Pump
The fuel pump, mounted near the blower housing
and the air cleaner cover, allows remote fuel tank
installations on some engines. The pump is
operated by vacuum pulses from the engine.
NOTE: The fuel pump itself is not serviceable. If
the pump does not operate after inspection and
proper installation, replace the pump.
Removal
1. Close the fuel shut-off valve, if equipped.
2. Release clamps and disconnect fuel lines
(A, Figures 1 and 2) and vacuum line (B)
from the fuel pump (C).
3. Disassemble shut-off valve and fuel filter,
if equipped, from hoses and set aside.
4. Remove the two screws that secure the
fuel pump and mounting bracket.
Inspection
Inspect fuel pump for:
• Restrictions or leaks in vacuum or fuel
lines
• Cracks or distortion in pump body or
base.
• Stiff or brittle hoses.
Check shutoff valve and filter for damage or
contamination, and replace parts as necessary.
Installation
1. Install two screws in fuel pump and
mounting bracket and torque to values
listed in Section 12 - Engine
Specifications.
2. Reassemble shutoff valve and fuel filter, if
equipped, to fuel line. Secure with clamps.
3. Connect vacuum line (B) and fuel lines (A)
to the fuel pump (C). Secure with clamps.
