Razorback 1,271 #1 Posted 10 hours ago I noticed that the fuel pump on my C160 is leaking. The attached pic is after I had wiped it with a rag. But it looked to me like it was leaking from the top cover area. In and out hoses are good. The pump has the letter B casted into it. I would appreciate suggestions for repairing what I have….. not real interested in converting to an electric pump, but I guess I could if necessary. Thank you!

sqrlgtr 2,721 #2 Posted 10 hours ago I have had great success rebuilding the fuel pumps on mine. I sourced the parts from https://www.thenandnowautomotive.com/ and you can call and talk to a real person . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 11,973 #4 Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Leaking oil or gas?? DO check your oil - pull the dipstick and smell it for raw gas... If present - fix the pump & change the oil before starting it.! Edited 9 hours ago by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If present - fix the pump & change the oil before starting it.! Leaking gas..... and it doesn't appear to be getting in the oil. It's running down the front of the block. Not pouring down, but wet and noticable gas smell in the shed. OK, OK..... please point me to a good how-to for the electric pump........ then I can compare and weigh the options. Thank you for the pointers. Edited 5 hours ago by Razorback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 9,810 #10 Posted 3 hours ago Mounted an electric pump on this C81 on the frame and ran the + wire up to the coil connection. Starts when your reaching for the key, no hesitation. Was ,messing with some steel tubing but not necessary. I mounted the filter near the tank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
