Okay thanks I wondered what it was supposed to do I saw there was a fuel pump listed in Briggs and Stratton parts listing but no pictures I wondered why the tubes on it didn't go anywhere, what I don't understand is why it was there in the first place I bought this mower new from Sears.That is the impulse fuel pump because the engine or at least the blower housing is off something else.
If it is blowing oil out the hole then the diaphragm inside is busted.
If you have a gravity system ( tank higher than the carb ) then you don't need it so block off the tube at the dip stick or get a repacement dip stick without the outlet .
Thanks for solving that problem for me.
Now I have to solve the problem of the carburetor draining fuel through into the engine I believe through the engine breather attached to the inlet manifold when this all first happened I took the head of and the head gasket was blown since then I put two more head gaskets on this engine the last one I bought a solid copper annealed by the company I bought it from, I checked the head with an engineers straight edge and it was warped so I glued sandpaper to a large piece of glass and sanded it in an hourglass pattern until the surface was perfectly flat and then put it together, I also replaced the carburetor with a new one and put a shutoff valve on the fuel line unfortunately last time I used the mower I didn't turn the gas valve off. I always use pure gasoline in my mowers I don't use any with alcohol in it.
What is the part sticking out of the bottom of the float chamber do? isn't that supposed to be an electronic shut of valve or something like it? My books only show me so much I do appreciate all the help I can get thanks.
