The fuel pump is actuated by pulsating crankcase<br />

vacuum from the engine. The vacuum pulse fitting (2),<br />

Fig. 11 is installed on the No. 1 cylinder valve cover.<br />

NOTE: A leak at the vacuum pulse hose or its<br />

connections will result in improper fuel flow.<br />

Inspect the fuel hose from the fuel tank (3), the fuel<br />

hose to the carburetor (1) and the vacuum pulse<br />

hose. Replace any hose that is stiff or brittle.<br />

NOTE: The fuel pump is available only as an<br />

assembly.<br />

Fuel Pump<br />

<br />

<br />

General Information<br />

NOTE: Some applications use an OEM supplied<br />

remote fuel pump. These engines are<br />

manufactured without a fuel pump.<br />

The fuel pump allows for remote fuel tank<br />

installations. Fuel pressure is 1.5 psi (0.1 Bar). The<br />

pump will prime at 12” (30.5 cm) maximum lift.<br />

CAUTION: Excessive fuel pressure can result in an<br />

over-rich carburetor mixture and ultimately cylinder<br />

scoring and/or other engine damage, resulting from<br />

gasoline diluting the crankcase oil. FUEL PUMP<br />

PRESSURE MUST NOT EXCEED 1.5 psi (0.1 Bar).<br />
