Lawn Ranger kid 14 #1 Posted March 23, 2010 On my K-181 the lever on the fuel pump broke of and fell inside the engine. Should I pop the oil pan of and get it out or leave it alone. Thanks Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #2 Posted March 23, 2010 Are you sure the lever broke off, some of the 181s used pulse vaccum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #3 Posted March 23, 2010 IMO if there is anything loose in the crank case, get it out of there. Its four bolts and a gasket. Easy fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger from southern Iowa 1 #4 Posted March 23, 2010 I agree with VinsRJ. That piece laying in the pan could prove to be very costly. If indeed the pump is the mechanical one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SALTYWRIGHT 861 #6 Posted March 23, 2010 ONE HOUR NOW MAY SAVE THE MOTOR. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THINKING OF THE BROKEN PART OF THE PUMP IN THE CRANKCASE. DO IT BEFORE YOU RUN THE MOTOR. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawn Ranger kid 14 #8 Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks for the replys but now that I look at the pump closer it is a pulse vaccum pump. Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleaverkid 11 #9 Posted May 18, 2010 Hey guys, I just discovered the same problem on my dearly beloved 864. How can i tell if it's a pulse pump or my lever is missing? I thought it was a missing lever, but now you've got me wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
