Keith R 28 #1 Posted 8 hours ago I’m having trouble getting the fuel pump to pick up. The tractor will fire if I put fuel in the carb. Witch is slightly difficult lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 53,540 #2 Posted 8 hours ago Start at the fuel tank all the way to the carb. Check the pick up in the tank for clogged & the fuel filter. Cap vent open? Petcock open? ... hey it happens. Consider replacing fuel line if questionable. Next would be the fuel pump. Disconnect the line at the carb and see if it quirts in a little cup. if you have fuel to the carb only thing left might be the carb itself. Stuck float or just plain dirty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,824 #3 Posted 5 minutes ago It may need a little "positive reinforcement". Using a large rag and shop air at about PSI lightly pressurize the tank to force the fuel into the line. One other item - the fuel shut off may have a fine mesh cylindrical filter inside the tank. Some do, some don't. In the absence of fuel, the sediment on it can solidify, blocking the flow of fuel. Time for a new shut off & grommet?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
