Help time please....

The k301 for my c120 (bought the tractor literally in pieces but all there I think???? :blink:) is missing the fuel pump. I've check the engine out with the ol  intravenous method and its :handgestures-thumbupright:. Ebay will sell you one for anywhere from $20 - $160. I know you get what you pay for but....... really?????

Isave tractors has one in the $50 range. Any experience with the plethora  (is that really a word??:huh:) of 301 pumps out there?

Think "Electric".  I use Facets but other have good luck with a variety of other brands.  Al  less than what a kohler pump will cost.  Search on here for "Electric Fuel Pumps"

I've been running a cheap ebay one on the K301 on my C-125 for years and I haven't had any problems.

      K301 Suddenly Died, No Start, No Spark (‘68 Charger 12)
      By BrianKoch
      Gentlemen,
       
      I am in need of help. While doing yard work with my K301 powered ‘68 Charger 12 it suddenly came to a stop and won’t start again. 

      My troubleshooting so far: 
       
      Fuel:
      • stabil/87 and clean
      • good flow before and after pump
      • carb clean, recently rebuilt, float level correctly set 
       
      Compression:
      •good? - blows finger off spark plug hole
      •good turnover but doesn’t fire off
      •piston and cylinders move freely
      •valve lash set .008 intake .018 exhaust
      •breather assembly correct and recently serviced with new gaskets and filter
      •head gasket not broken, head bolts tight, some carbon on head
       
      Spark:
      •no spark
      •all electrical/ignition components were replaced 1 year ago except voltage regulator
      •no loose connections, no grounding connections
      •inspected and applied graphite to starter shaft
      •changed plug
      •12v to coil good
      •cleaned points, points wire has continuity
      •condenser ground good
      •swapped battery, points and wire, plug and wire, coil, and condenser from running K301 (‘69 Charger 12)
      •points push rod does push out when turning engine over by hand, but unable to get points timed using multimeter method and timing mark on flywheel
       
      What else should I check/do?

      Wanted K301 Valve Cover Plate

      Looking for a good and flat cover plate for the k301 crankcase. My current one is warped causing oil to leak out.

      K301 Low Compression
      By PWL216
      Hi. I have a C121 which starts right up but lacks power. A compression check indicated 30lbs of pressure. I took the head off hoping maybe it’s just a gasket, but I think the cylinder needs to be honed or bored out. Based on the attached pics, is this block still good and would honing fix it?

      Balance Gear Surgery

      So gang, it's Christmas time and my company has extended its forced vacation to two weeks, sucking 7 days of FTO from me. I've got all kinds of things to do for the wifey-poo but what the heck can I do for me?
      I've got two K301s so may as well get out the surgical tools and do a b-gearectomy. The C-125 goes first. Restored that back in '17 and so she's got maybe 75 hours on her. It'll be rather painless and the youngster is visiting so can assist in getting that b-itch up onto the bench. She's already been moved to the garage and the old Kawi and its carb parts moved back to the shed while I search for tiny o-rings. Wish me luck and pics to come. Oh, there is no rattle BUT she's always had a minor knock I chalk-up to excessive end play (didn't measure it back then 'cause I'm bad but, dang!, will now).
