@Brockport Bill, @c-series don, So I took you all's advice and called around. My first call was to my local JD dealer, inquiring about a Kohler fuel pump. He was not able to help me, but gave me a phone number to a local shop, Dave's Lawn and Garden Service. Dave was super helpful and said if my old fuel pump was supplying blurps of fuel when cranking, it should be fine. So, when I get home (in VA Beach visiting my daughter's family for Memorial Day weekend), I am going to reinstall the old fuel pump and see if I can get it running. If I can, it's going to go to urgent care at Dave's Lawn service to check out the electrical system, as he said that could be a cause, which I thought of as well, just don't have the knowledge to diagnose that issue. So hoping that I did not damage the internals by trying to use starting fluid to get it running with the other pump. Always an adventure...
