fuel pump

[jstuart]

I have be unable to find a replacement fuel pump for my 1995 Yardman lawn tractor. Was wondering if one of the small electric pumps would work? If so which one would you suggest. Thanks

Can't really help you much until you give us the numbers off the engine. My ESP went down with this heat wave we're having.

Sorry forgot to include numbers. It is a Kohler MV 20 S Spec 57526, Dis LC 670, Serial # 2503702686. I have entered those numbers in several vendors website. The pump that they show doesn't look like the one on my machine. That is reason to ask if I could discontinue the use of the original and use an electric in its place.

Kohler part number for your Magnum is 52-559-03 and it is still available. Search around as the prices vary alot.

Yes sir saw that number, unfortunately it looks nothing like the one on my mower. Thus the reason for asking about an electric one.

I have hopefully attached a couple of pictures of the fuel pump.

Just looked up your engine number under Kohler and they show this fuel pump. So something is wrong.



Where are you getting your engine numbers from?

Did someone replace the engine at some point?

Recently replaced the fuel pumps on two older Kohlers with the pump pictured in Brian902s post.
These are camshaft driven pumps and should you purchase one, do not install the adjustable inlet and outlet fittings until you are absolutely sure which one and its position as you will damage the pump housing trying to get them out to reposition them!!!!
If you decide on an electric fuel pump, make sure that it has max output pressure of 1.5 PSI, higher pressure pumps will push by the needle and seat in the carb and flood the engine. With an electric fuel pump, you will still need to blank off the mounting area of the old pump.

Thanks gents. The numbers came directly off the engine and are clear and easy to read. I can't say if the engine was replaced at anytime as I recently acquired this mower. The one pictured in Brian s post looks nothing like mine. I will take the old one to a repair shop and see if they can match it up. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be both welcome and appreciated.

The part number I gave you is the replacement pump for your engine. It comes with multiple inlets and outlets to match your application. As stated, you have a disassembled pump which runs off the camshaft.
