slomo… Sorry, I wasn’t ignoring you. I should’ve quoted you in my previous post to acknowledge. I think I have tried everything that everyone suggested throughout the thread other than attaching a vacuum gauge to the crankcase to get a specific reading. It does feel like there is plenty of...

New carb. New fuel lines. New filter. Engine runs fine if I continuously spray gas into carb from spray bottle.

I covered all of the above With no luck. Bottom line is Both vacuum and electric pumps not getting fuel to carb. i parked it…might give it a shot next spring.

Thanks Doc. I did replace all the spring clamps with ring clamps. Lines are are new from gas tank to fuel pump I'll switch back to the original vacuum fuel pump one more time. I'll also try leaving the fuel filter out just incase that's slowing down the flow.

Finally got back around to trying to figure this out. I installed a 12v electric pump (2-4 psi). Engine will stay running but surging and only if I keep the choke on and hold the pump up above the height of the carb. Switched back to vacuum fuel pump and for some reason the vacuum is now much...

Yes. Your replies are there. Thanks. Carb solenoid has 12v in run, will check for 12v in start too. Fuel pump is new Pickup, filter and all lines are not blocked or clogged in any way. Thus, I suspect no vacuum from crankcase. Too hot still, to check. But will post back when I do.

No oil in the hose from crankcase at all. i changed it for a new hose as the new fuel pump inlet was in a different spot and hose wouldn’t reach. i will double check that I get 12v at solenoid when engine is cranking as well as when in start position. Wont have a chance to check until tomorrow...

Yeah...It seems I'm left with this being the issue through the process of elimination. I made sure oil filter and oil fill cap were tight so no leaks there. I still haven't checked with compression tester but I don't feel any noticeable suction when I cover the hose from crankcase with my thumb...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, new carb came with new fuel solenoid attached. There is no fuel, other than in the gas tank. No matter what, the fuel is not evenbeing drawn into the the fuel pickup tube in gas tank. My next attempt will be to fill every line and the fuel pump with gas… -Tank to Fuel...

Doh. I should have known that. Thanks

I tried cropping the pictures to see if that works. Hopefully the relevant items are still in photos.

I checked the bullet connector to the fuel solenoid and it clicks and registers 12v when I turn the key to ON position. There is another connection on the opposite side of carb where the single wire attaches with a spade connector from above. The wire is green and inside a black sheath and it...

I will take and post some pictures of what everything looks like later today.

Sorry, I typed the wrong info above re: the fuel pump. Both the fuel in and fuel out are in the middle portion of the block and the input to diaphragm from crankcase is on top 1/3 section.

Thanks for the electrical wiring diagram link. I will go over it later tonight. I replaced the fuel pump (Aluminum Block type) with one that looks almost identical. The differences being the in and out connections in relation to the crankcase, carb and fuel in. As for the actual ports, they...
