Hi All,
I just joined. Got a fuel system question or two. I have a Bobcat, with a 16 hp Onan. I think the fuel pump has quit. The power went out last week, so I fired it up. Half hour later, it died. I fooled around with it for some time.
I found out it was not getting gas, nothing showing in the filter. I can suck gas up thru the filter, but it sounds like I might be getting air along with it.
How do I pull the line that goes into the tank, so I can check whats going down to the gas? Looks like a soft plug, it will turn.
I was also thinking that the fuel pump is bad, since it doesn't pull fuel up into the filter. Has any one changed to an electric fuel pump? If so , which one?
I know the engine will run. I put a little gas in the carb.
Hope this makes sence!
Thanks for any help and guidance.
