MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF FUEL IN YOUR GAS TANK THAT YOUR ENGINE IS 

ATTACHED TO, NOW PULL THE FUEL LINE FROM THE FUEL PUMP AND 

PUT IT INTO A CLEAR QUART JAR AND LOWER IT TO THE GROUND. 

NOW TURN ON YOUR SHUT OFF VALVE, IF YOU HAVE NO FREE-FLOW OF FUEL THEN IT 

IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK LIKE GRASS, 

LEAVES OR DEBRIS STOPING THE FUEL FLO. 

THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU AN INDICATION THAT YOU MAY NOT NEED A FUEL PUMP. 

NOW IF YOU LOOSEN YOUR GAS TANKS FUEL CAP JUST A LITTLE AND 

BLOW SOME AIR INTO THE FUEL LINE GOING BACK TO THE FUEL TANK AND 

THEN PUT THE HOSE BACK INTO THE QUART JAR AND LOWER IT TO THE 

GROUND AGAIN AND YOU NOW HAVE FUEL FLOW THEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU 

NEED TO REMOVE THE FUEL TANK TO CLEAN IT OUT. 

WHY? BECAUSE WHATEVER IT WAS IS GOING TO FLOAT BACK INTO 

THE WAY AGAIN IF YOU DONT CLEAN IT OUT. 

LET'S SAY YOU HAD FUEL FLOW AFTER LOWERING THE LINE TO THE GROUND IN THE FIRST PLACE. 

THEN YOU NEED TO BLOW THROUGH THE FUEL PUMP ON THE INLET PORT. 

IF YOU CAN'T BLOW THROUGH IT THEN REMOVE THE LINE FROM THE 

FUEL PUMP THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE CARBURETOR. 

NOW TRY TO BLOW THROUGH THAT HOSE GOING IN TO THE CARBURETOR. 

IF YOU STILL CAN'T, THEN YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS 

SOMETHING PLUGGED IN THE NEEDLE SEAT THAT IS INSIDE OF THE CARBURETOR. 

SOMETHING IS STOPPING THAT FLOW. 

REMOVE THE CARBURETOR AND TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL TO HAVE IT SERVICED. 

IF YOU ARE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC THEN TAKE THE CARBURETOR APART YOURSELF AND 

REMOVE THE FLOAT BOWL AND NEEDLE FROM THE NEEDLE SEAT. 

NOW ATTACH AN AIR HOSE TO THE NEEDLE SEAT WHERE YOU PULLED THE NEEDLE OUT OF AND 

BLOW BACK THROUGH IT WITH AN AIR HOSE. 

IT SHOULD HAVE NOW BLOWN OUT WHATEVER IT WAS THAT PLUGGED IT UP. 

NOW REASSEMBLE THE CARBURETOR IN THE SAME MANNER IT WAS TAKEN APART AND 

TRY TO BLOW BACK INTO THE CARBURETOR FROM THE 

INLET PORT GOING IN TO THE CARBURETOR. YOUR PROBLEM SHOULD NOW BE SOLVED. 

NOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO FROM YOUR FUEL TANK TO YOUR 

ENGINES CARBURETOR IS MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS ASSEMBELED IN THIS ORDER...

CLEAR FUEL LINE FROM 

GAS TANK PORT-to-FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE-to-FUEL FILTER-to-CLEAR FUEL LINE-to-FUEL PUMP-to-

CLEAR FUEL LINE-to-CARBURETOR. 

NOW EVEN IF YOUR TRACTOR, GENERATOR, WELDER OR WHATEVER YOUR 

ENGINE IS ON DID NOT COME WITH A SEDIMENT BOWL ON IT THEN 

LISTEN CLOSELY TO A PROFESSIONAL THAT IS HERE TO 

SAVE YOU MONEY/TIME AND A LATER HEADAKE!!! DO THIS.....

FUEL TANK-to-CLEAR FUEL LINE-to-SEDIMENT BOWL-to-CLEAR FUEL LINE-to-FUEL FILTER-to-

CLEAR FUEL LINE-to-FUEL PUMP-to-CLEAR FUEL LINE-to-CARB.!!!! 

WHY DO I SAY A SEDIMENT BOWL THAT WAS NEVER ON YOUR ITEM THAT YOUR ENGINE IS ON? 

ANSWER: A SEDIMENT BOWL PUT IN A VISUAL PLACE WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT WILL 

CATCH THAT WATER/CONDINSATION THAT 

SOMEHOW MADE ITS WAY INTO YOUR FUEL FROM THE GAS STATION! 

THIS IS BECAUSE WATER IS HEAVIER THAN GASOLINE. 

THAT GLASS SEDIMENT BOWL WILL CATCH THAT (VERY LITTLE AMOUNT) OF 

WATER IN THAT BOWL SO IT DOES NOT MAKE ITS 

WAY THROUGH EVERYTHING ELSE TO GET INTO YOUR CARBURETOR AND RUIN ITS COMPONETS! 

THAT IN ITSELF IS BAD FOR EVERYTHING BUT NOW IMAGINE IF YOU ARE A PERSON THAT LIVES IN THE 

NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY AND DEAL WITH FRIDGID COLD WINTERS,

NOW YOU HAVE WATER FROZE UP IN YOUR CARBURETOR, FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER AND GAS TANK!!!!  

NOTHING WILL STOP FROZEN WATER FROM BUSTING YOUR 

COMPONETS IN ANYTHING ONCE IT FREEZES UP!!!!
