Skwerl58 761 #1 Posted May 5, 2023 I have had time to get back on my 1054 the passed couple of days so I installed a coil and wired the machine to factory specs. I have it turning over but no fuel is pumping to the carb. I have rebuilt the carb, installed new lines, fuel filter and cleaned the tank and sediment bowl. I have an electric fuel pump that I can install but need to know where to connect it. With the split key switch and starter button ignition where do I wire it in? Thanks for all the help and suggestions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 65,763 #2 Posted May 5, 2023 Try sticking your palm over the carb and rolling it over until your hand gets wet. It might just need a hand (pun intended) getting the system primed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 65,763 #5 Posted May 5, 2023 If you find you still need to install the electric pump, you can use the hot wire from the coil to power the pump. Make sure to use a fuse. Ask me how I know… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 9,196 #6 Posted May 5, 2023 Used to do the same with the worn out POS 56 International Half Ton I learned to drive on. If it sat too long un used, it would loose prime. A real "treasure".... when ya only got 6 volts, ya don't have a whole lot of cranking time.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skwerl58 761 #9 Posted May 6, 2023 I will try the hand over the carb and if it doesn't work I will install the pump off the coil with a fuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
