I'm making progress. Was going to try to fire the engine, even without changing impeller and rebuilding carb, just to see if I could at least make it cough.
I have the type of fuel pump that has the removeable glass fuel bowl, and a filter inside that as well. Problem is I saw the crud in there so removed it, cleaned it all up, soaked the filter that was inside, and it's falling apart.
Reinstalled, but it won't seal, old seal is just too old/hard/cracked, as it leaks at the edge VERY badly.
Can I buy just that gasket, or can I make one from something? I suppose I could use some old inner tube, at least for a test firing.
I don't want to buy a whole fuel pump repair kit if all it needs is the gasket.
How about the filter inside, anyone know if that, or a modern replacement is available?
Thanks,
Rich
