there is no fuel getting from the pump to the carb, can the one on my 40hp be exchanged for one off a 1600 or 1500?

also i have a 1500 vac advance dizzy will that work, the older dizzy had had the vac advance bit stuffed on it (my dad and an accident)

ALSO i have a 31pict brosol carb, will it fit/will it work the carb on the 40hp seems like it doesnt have a spring return and its really dirty and needs a rebuild by the looks of it


thanks

Hi,
If fuel is reaching the fuel pump inlet and the pump isn't picking up the fuel. Try primming the pump by taking the fuel line of at the carby end and pouring petrol down.
(A tip for this is to cut an old fuel filter and use it for a funnel).

Had a similar problem the other week with my car.

Cheers Damian
