I describing the fuel pump, I thought there were only 2 kinds out there. The vacuum operated one on the side of the engine cover and EFI. I guess I should have called it "vacuum" rather than "mechanical"?

Bert, thanks for the detailed method of sharing how to chase the fuel issue it seems to be having. I thought that I had been detailed enough in describing the issue. The FR691V is mounted on a Husqvarna Z254f and is NA. I was unaware that that were EFI versions of that engine out there.

Thanks anyway! Appreciate it.

I don't believe turning on the key will make a mechanical fuel pump make the fuel flow without the engine running.

FR691 with 155 hours. Starts and runs perfectly for about 15 mins then starts missing really badly. New plugs, fuel and air filter. Adding a little choke helps it smooth out but not 100%. Steering arms in and out seems to make no difference, neither does turning off PTO, so I'm thinking fuel...

This is obviously just a guess but, it may not have been anything you did. I just did an autopsy on a SV840 that had locked up for no apparent reason. The gear that drives the oil pump and the Woodruff key were laying in the oil sump. All the internals look fine except the crankshaft is stuck in...

Yeah, I repaired it and used a zip tie to keep it up off the edge of the baffle. I looked at the rest of the harness for possible trouble spots then moved and zip tied anything that looked like it could rub. Thanks again.

You absolutely NAILED IT! The carb solenoid wire was rubbing on the metal baffle. I couldn't see it until I moved the wire as it was pristine on top but worn through an the bottom that was resting on the edge if the baffle. Thanks for the help! Hugh

I'm thinking stator. On the longblock swap it was pretty straightforward. Moved stator, flywheel, coils, fuel delivery, muffler, etc from one block to the other. Does the fact that it runs fine for 30 minutes or so give you a clue as to the fault? Thanks for the help!

Hello all, I'm working on an old (2009) Bad Boy Pro 27 with a Kohler 27 hp. I did a longblock swap using a used longblock and the original accessories including charging system etc. Mower preformed perfectly for several hours then began blowing the main fuse. I traced the issue back to the...
