why is in not pumping fuel
1731004
If you are not getting fuel in most cases the issue is either the carberator had old fuel in it with the alcohol in it it will draw moisture and clog up the ports inside , if you have tryed another carb and it stiil wont pump fuel the issue is probably internal the crank case will need to send a pulse through the pulse line hose going to the carb to activate the diaphram inside the carb. if there is a leak on either crank seal or cly. gasket it will not create the pulse it needs to operate . pull pulse line off and crank over to see if there is any activityon pulse line of pressure test bottom end . crank seals are known to go bad on these small engines ..... Good Luck Mike

Since there is no fuel pump you have to have your tank above the carburetor ,make sure when you squeeze your primer bubble that your pick up and vent line are submerged in fuel then pump all the air out , then your fuel should begin to flow.

Oh wow! Well, they are all shipped without fuel to avoid hazard. I ordered Zippo fuel which works great. You need to hold the fuel canister upside-down to allow the fluid to drip into the lighter. Maybe there was a flaw in the lighter fluid can?

Not sure what the problem is! Are you hooked up to a fuel supply that is gravity fed? If not it may need to be primed but not sure.

If it isn't clicking then you have a defective vacu vin. I love mine & it works very well. It does not take 50 pumps to work. Send it back and request a replacement.

Sammy ... I bought a new fuel pump for my Yamaha golf cart and it seemed to do well, but now, I have the same problem you are having. It will move when you push the pedal down, but after a short while will just stall and sit there ... no matter how much you push down the pedal. We then have to push or tow it to where we're going. I have been told that it is probably a carburetor problem, but I haven't had anyone look at it yet.

Yes it does sound like a fuel issue, n that could be either 1 or 2 things n that would be the fuel pump or clogged fuel filter. If the fuel pump is leaking fuel then it's for sure the fuel pump causing the issue bc there a diaphragm in the pump that wears out. Hope this helps

Not sure what you mean, but there is no reserve of any kind built in. The fuel gauge should provide adequate status of remaining fuel.

Probably due to the cycle time. If you shut it off and let it cool down a little while inflating it should be fine.

My best guess is that the pump circuit is very dry and it needs to be primed with an EXTERNAL hand pump. They are avaiable for a small sum.

Check the fuel line to make sure there are no cracks etc. Also, the bowl of the carb has a float valve and might have come off during shipping. Check that.

Try cleaning the air hole on the gas cap first. I replaced the fuel pump, but still had stalling until I cleaned out the air hole in the gas cap.

Add a fuel stabilizer and leave the gas in it. The amount of gas in the tank dose not matter. I started to use fuel stabilizer years ago and since I have no problems starting seasonal equipment even after months of inactivity. I try to start my generator about once a month to move oil around and lubricate internal engine parts

it is all about "gallons per minute/quarts/ounces". See if you can find some type of fuel usage rate on the outboard,,the web has a lot of information. Then compare to the max output of the pump which states 35 gallons per hour. there needs to be more gpm available at the pump. Also, make sure the fuel line(s) are not kinked and the fuel filter is not clogged in any matter, including the portable fuel tank suction - sometimes there is a screen or filter there. Also, the priming squeeze bulb that is usually on this application may have a restriction. If all looks in order and the fuel usage rate is too much for pump, you could get another pump and parallel or series install to see if that improves the motor speed.

Did you add kerosene? Sounds like contaminated fuel (water). You need Mr Funnel. See www.milesstair.com. He has free excellent advice on care and maintenance.

sounds like the hi speed port is plugged so gas isnt get in to the carb. clean out passage ways with compress air, but carefuly not to blow the o-rings out. or try carb. cleaner to remove any rust particles from the passage ways

Sounds like the problem may be with the pilot or gas line. I suggest calling your gas company to have it checked out.

You can use Heat gas treament or air break anti- freeze, these are two items I use in mind now. There are other fuel sources out there go on Utube and look.
