2072 fuel pump replacement
 

Hi All,

Do i have to remove the intake manifold to remove the fuel pump. It seems to be under it.

Can you get the blades off of a 60" haban if you drive the mower up a set of car ramps?

thanks

What make of engine is in your 2072 ?

:bigthink:

Yes.

Thanks
Its a M20s

You do NOT have to remove the intake manifold to replace the Fuel Pump.

Okay that is good news. If my new one fails what is your opinion on an electric one

Meh.

I normally end up "rebuilding" the old one with pieces of the new b/c the bent arm that rides the cam and actuates never seems quite right on the new ones. At least my experience w/ KT17 Series II and M18.

That sounds like good advice.

I can't get to mount bolts for the fuel pump. It looks like you need to remove a bunch of metal shrouds. I have attempted to do this before and the side covers seem to bolted under the engine. Please advise I purchased an oem pump for 40.00

As seen in the Service Manual on page 11.14.....

The fuel pump is not needed on a 2072 as long as you keep the tank about 1/4+ full of fuel. It will gravity feed to the carb. I ran an 1811 for years without a pump and never had an issue.
