Greetings: I'm working on a JD 345 riding mower and having some problems with re-attaching the fuel hoses to pump/carb. It has a Kawasaki FD611V engine. I've taken pics of it prior to removing carb and pump but the pics don't show enough detail because of the dirt and other junk accumulated in the area - I've looked online for info on this but I can't find any, the fuel pump diagram shows where the pump to carb hose is located (which means the other hose nipple would be attached to fuel line from tank). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

The fuel lines are the ones on the outside.
The impulse line is the one in the middle.
Between the two fuel lines is a valve & diaphragm
The diaphragm is powered by the pressure pulses from the crank case.
so when the pressure pushes the diaphragm down fuel is pushed through the tube to the carb.
When the piston rises & creates a vacuum the diaphragm goes the other way and suck fuel from the tank.
