snowhound 106 #1 Posted January 5, 2015 I replaced the fuel pump on my Kholer M16 with a plastic replacment, the pump works fine but I have an oil leak around it that I haven't been alble to correct. The instructions say not to use a gasket use only the o ring that was supplied but a standard gasket was also in the kit. My questiion is has anyone used a gasket with one of the plastic pumps.

Wishin4a416 2,191 #2 Posted January 5, 2015 I was really threw off by your title. I thought you were looking for a replacement carb. To answer your question though, I have replaced 2 fuel pumps with the aftermarket ones and have only used the O-Ring gaskets with success. I don't believe mine supplied the paper gasket.

can whlvr 994 #3 Posted January 6, 2015 cant see why a gasket would hurt anything as long as its not thick,so it doesn't move the arm away from the lobe it rides on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
