[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 413620, member: 6843"] I just replaced the male fitting on the engine a little over a month ago as well as a new carb gasket kit.This is frustrating.It has been raining here for a while now,once it quits i am going to start doing one thing after another to eliminate it all one by one,my last step is taking the carb off.I am going to check the new gasket on the fuel pump to make sure there is no pin hole leaks somehow.I was told if i pump the ball hard from the start,take the fuel tank and lift it well above the engine it should automatically gravity feed itself because the fuel pum really won't have to work much,if indeed that works i believe there is something in the fuel pump defective.There is a check valve spring that seems to working properly and looks in great shape,the plastic hard body of the fuel pump seems in great working order so who knows.It's probably something so darn simple.I will put the old male fuel fitting back on the engine if all else fails to see how that works.
