which tube is for the fuel line and which tube for for the return line? I may have mine backwards.

I placed the short clear(yellow) on the top and the longer black line on the lower this is the one with the gas filter. Runs great but I could be wrong.

On mine, with the carb mounted on the tiller, the fuel line goes into the bottom connection on the carb body.

With the carb attached to the engine the fuel is the upper and the return is the lower. Also the fuel line on mine is clear while the return is black. ..

The tube in the black primer base is the return line the other one is main fuel it will have the filter on it

The yellow tube goes into the valve by the bulb. It's been a while since I did the overhaul, but the Mantis works better then ever once you get it done. Hope this helps.

There are youtube vids addressing the issue. there are two 12v + leads, one for the pump, one for the fuel gauge, a return to the gauge and a ground. find the 2 with positive voltage and which one is ground with a meter, the last one is the return to the fuel gauge. if you have 20 bucks for a Haynes manual it says which color wires correspond to the appropriate lead.

There is only a threaded standoff on the tank, you will need to find the proper fuel connector to thread into it for your application.

You replace the one tube with the other. You should have the instructions in the box. If I had access to mine right now, I would tell you exactly. I know it took me a while to get it. It works great though

The fill is hard to see on the photo of the tank. It is on the left top of the tank, centered between the vent and supply line connections. It requires a 1 1/2 inch hose. This tank does not provide for a diesel return line, but I drilled and tapped the float level plate for the return. Works great. Hope this helps.

I have the same set up and the only difference was the hose connections were reversed. They were pointing to the rear of the machine instead of to the front. Otherwise a good fit and performance was not compromised. Recommend that you get the additive for storage of the unit and be very methodical about its use. Otherwise the pump will freeze up after long periods of non-use.

It really depends on what size fuel lines you have. Could be 1/4" 5/16" 3/8" o.d. You will have to measure lines with a caliper to get the right size fittings for your lines at hardware store. The threads that fit into the pump are 1/4" pipe thread. Ace Hardware has a good stock of various sizes of fittings. They also have copper tubing, hose and clamps.

The fuel line and the fuel return line fail continually. I buy them three or four at a time and just keep them around. They're not expensive and are no problem to replace.

Mine was installed on a restoration project. Check with FAST support. They will be able to answer any questions on that. http://www.fuelairspark.com/

Where the air tubes connect to the air pump there's a dual connector that should have little closure wheels that you need to turn to open the lines, don't ask which way is open and which is closed I'm not even sure. I try to remember righty tighty, lefty loose-y, but what you really need to do is play around with it.

Righty ain't always tighty... if I remember right, propane is a left-handed thread for the pipe. Try turning it to the left to install, rather than the right. If you're already doing that, I don't know?

Thanks all for your help and advice. I called 3M and he said I should return it to the store. Sounded like the urethane had hardened in the tube. Returned this afternoon. Got a new tube with a current lot number. Haven't opened it yet. Here's hoping.

On the underside of the engine are 2 switches. One is the smoke unit and the other is the reverse unit. Make sure the smoke unit switch is on and put smoke fluid in the smoke stack. Be careful not to overfill the smoke stack. Only turn the reverse switch to on if you want to be able to reverse the engine direction.

it should work, it looks the same as original. refer to u-tube " brigs and stratton fuel pump vacume tube repair" first to be sure the problem is not the vac. tube from fule pump to the valve cover. if the tube is cracked AT ALL the pump may not operate correctly, if at all.

I had the same issue. There is a problem with the pin pressing on the fuel valve before the seal is made. I wasn't going to grind anything down so I sent it back.

There is no direction on this fuel filter. It filters either way with no check valve.

The lower port on the carb should pull fuel from the fuel filter in the tank. The upper one is part of the purge pump that returns fuel to the tank.
