pfrederi 17,114 #1 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Picked up a Magnum 8 a few years ago. PO said it stopped running like a fuel problem he put a new pump on but nothing... Cleaned it up cranked it and it had spark but never gassed it up and tried to run it as I did not have a test stand or a real need for it. Tried to get it running yesterday as it was nice outside. Would run on carb cleaner but not continue. No gas in carb bowl, float needle moved. Fuel pump was a newer plastic replacement looked good so I put on new fuel lines thinking they could be plugged. Line filled to the pump but not up to carb. Pulled the pump and the issue was obvious. He put on the wrong pump. Found I had a new pump for a small block. .Put it in and she fired right up and runs nicely. Just have to get the throttle /governor control adjusted. FYI Small block pump on the left big block on the right. the big block pump arm misses the cam but fortunately didn't hit anything else so no damage.... Kohler really should but some kind of marking sign on the pump body as to what it is for since the bodies are identical.
