Universal 12v gasoline pump

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, the 12v universal fuel pump on my Wheel Horse 702 is broken, I want to buy another one but I don't remember the PSI of the old one, what PSI should the pump have for my 7hp Kholer? Thank you

2.5 to 4 PSI will work.

I've had good results with the Carbole pumps on 2 of my tractors. I believe they have a PSI limiter and a check valve to stop backward flow.

Thank you all, I received my electric pump, I assembled it and everything works correctly, although I am interested in installing your original pump!

Hello again, I have looked at photos of other Wheel Horses and I noticed this fuel pump, could it be fitted to any engine? What do they need for it to work? Thanks again, greetings from Spain!

That is a vacuum operated fuel pump which would be connected to the engine block and be operated by the change in pressure in the crankcase. Onans and lots of other engines use them.

On my Kohler K161, it covers the original pump housing. If I put a connection on that cover, could I install a vacuum pump?

Yes

Be sure to use sturdy-walled tubing between the cover connector and the pump :)
