Raposo 532 #1 Posted November 7, 2020 Picked up a 1277 basket case and I was going to use it for parts, but I want to try to get it running and see if it will move under its own power before I rip it apart for parts because if it runs well I’ll do a partial restore on it. Anyway onto the help. When i got it home I check for spark, and I have it. I pulled the fuel tank and soaked it and put fresh fuel in it, I put the factory carb back on and pulled the aftermarket walbro that was on it off. replaced all the fuel lines and put a fuel filter on it. I sprayed a little starter fluid in the carb and she fired right up! But won’t run on fuel. I am getting fuel to the inlet of the fuel pump, nothing on the outlet. It has an aftermarket plastic fuel pump in it. I’m assuming that is not working. It also came with a factory fuel pump (pictures of both are below) Should I rebuild the factory pump or replace it? How do I rebuild it? Does it need to be rebuilt? I have no idea why the previous owner swapped them. Thanks guys!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,670 #2 Posted November 7, 2020 The plastic pump looks like a Kohler to me....wonder if it the correct one Big block are different than small but look the same when mounted.... anyway go electric save yourself a hassle.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raposo 532 #3 Posted November 8, 2020 Anyone have a wiring guide or what should I wire it to on a 1277? I like the idea of an electric one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
