Skooled 0 #1 Posted July 18, 2015 My c-121 not getting enough gas. We have tried just about everything. If you put gas in above the fuel pump it starts much better and sounds better.It works okay going downhill, but has gradually gotten the point that to even mow on level land (with mower engaged) it has to be in first gear. New to this site, not super handy, and not exactly sure on how to go about finding parts. Any help would be appreciates and apologies if this is not the correct area for this type of request.

AMC RULES 37,196 #5 Posted July 19, 2015 So... did you ever add a regulator Mike, to dial in the electric pump you added? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikesRJ 558 #8 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Then and Now will have the pump parts for you then. Just take the pump apart and match up what you have to the kit numbers shown on the link I gave above. You should be just fine. One word of caution though. When reinstalling the pump, make sure the pump arm is above 9on top of) the cam when you put it back in. Been there and done it wrong once. Took me a while to figure out where I'd buggered myself up. Edited July 19, 2015 by MikesRJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
