[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 362496, member: 7076"] Simple way to determine if the fuel pump is the problem is to try pumping the bulb while the engine is running. If the motor keeps running normally when you are manually pumping the bulb, then you'll have to rebuild or replace the fuel pump. If the symptoms are the same when you are hand pumping the bulb, your problem is likely some where else. Have you torn down and cleaned the carburetor and all of the components yet? This is far more likely to be causing your problems rather than the fuel pump. If your carburetor is blocked, it won't allow additional fuel to enter the bowl, and therefor no additional fuel through the filter. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
