[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 433098, member: 3278"] [size=5]The gray sludge "may" be a seal issue. Would clean the area, re-lube the mag plate and monitor. Before you get the "correct fuel pump" go through the carburetor, clean thoroughly and install an OEM kit in it. A fuel pump will [u]not[/u] keep the engine from starting unless a diaphragm is ruptured and flooding the engine with fuel. You can take the place of the fuel pump by just hand priming the system with the primer bulb. Fuel will by-pass the pump hence the comment on not needing a fuel pump to start an engine. If you want to check and see if the pump is leaking just remove the pump and once again, hand prime with the primer bulb. If the pump has a ruptured diaphragm gas will be visible at the engine port that supplies vacuum and pressure to the pump. [/size] [/QUOTE]
