We have an 18 hp. twinfuelpump on the side of the carb . It was

top off the carb and it was bone dry . I replaced the needle valve and
it still didn't getfuel. This time when the carb was apart I poured
some gas in the bowl and poured gas to thefuel pump line doing it
several times and turning it over to prime the pump . When I put the
carb back together it started right up and ran good . I took it out to
try mowing with it an again after about 10 minutes it acted like it
was starving for gas . Then it stalled again . Sameproblem. Thefuel
pump seems to be powered by a vacum hose coming up from the
crankcase . Is there anything in the crankcase (filter)or something
that would plug up ? I can feel som air coming out of the hose when I
turn it over . I can suckfuelout of the gas line at thefuelpump
connection from the tank...Any ideas...Rick

Nothing like a gasket *placed incorrectly* in thefuelpump repair.?

I get nervous when I have parts left over in a carb rebuild. :-)

I have disasembled the pump already . Just to be sure , I checked to
make sure I didn't have the gasket reversed and that all the springs
are in place. Rick
