Fuel Pump Stripdown K321S

Recommended Posts

The_Tyke

I've had the engine turning over on my Raider 14, but can only get it to fire when it has been spoon fed with a bit of fuel.

The spark plug is dry and there was no fuel in the pipe from the pump, but there was fuel from the tank to the pump.

Is the pump easy enough to strip down to see if there is any kind of issue?

Pics would be helpful :notworthy:

Its not bad. You can go to Kohler and and get there maintenance manual for that engine and it will show you how to do it.

Hi Andy,

I found that the pump on my engine didnt function until petrol was forced through it (the tractor hadnt been used for 15 years!). Once the pump had fuel going through it with no air locks, it seemed to work fine. I did take mine apart and found it quite easy, dont tear the diaphram though!

I like this never found it before:

:notworthy:

I hope you are enjoying yourself with your new purchase, before you know it you will have bought another one!

Regards

Simon, down in very cold Dorset.

Many thanks for the info.

I might try blowing into the tank whilst turning it over to try and clear any airlocks.

I don't really want to damage the diaphram!

If you want to stick the flag in your signature I have saved it to one of my websites.

Oh and I'm actively looking to increase the herd. I've had offers of an Atco and Westwood. Should be great fun dragging them round the fields with my horse.

(Moderators please accept my apologies for using the words "Atco" and "Westwood)

You can also cover the carb with your hand when your turning it over that usually works.

The hand over the carb worked a treat. :thumbs:

I had fuel all over the place!!!

So it wasn't a fault with the pump.

I've given the carb a good wash down and clean out, but the booster battery pack I was using to turn it over has died.:notworthy:

I got one puff of smoke though :WRS:
