Hello Doc, It has spec # 64694

I have heard bad reviews on Walker's valve cover mounted fuel pump. Does anyone have a recommendation of a model that would replace Walker's valve cover style fuel pump?

It's a single barrel keihin. Yes, the clip is installed correctly.

I rebuilt my carburetor, found out gas was getting in my oil then found out my float setting was 26 mm instead of what the manual calls for which is 22 mm. When the float is at 26 mm which would make more separation between the needle and the float, is it possible the the float could get stuck...

I was putting the carb back together with the o ring kit I received and the the tiny o rings are actually round which won't fit in the holes. I believe I need the flat style to fit in the holes. Any recomendations on the best place to find a kit? I order the first kit from Amazon that matched...

How about fresh motor oil or vaseline?

What is the best method to confirm it is sealing?

Perfect- I confirmed that the carb needed rebuilt and was wondering if the 22 year o-rings, body gasket and needle valve can contribute to gas getting into the crankcase oil.

when you are putting new o-rings on, do you use any lubrication?

Ten four. I just used my mouth. Fingers crossed, replacing all the o-rings, needle valve and the ultrasonic cleaning will do the trick.

I have an arrow pointing to the brass piece the inlet needle valve inserts in. I've had people tell me there should be an o-ring in this brass piece but the engine manuel does not show one. It appears to me the brass piece is the perfect size for the needle valve to seat perfectly without an...

Any recommendation on where to buy the kit of o-rings, gaskets etc. to re-build the carb?

Good point. In the past, I mowed some buffalo that would be dry early season for sure but it was irrigated too. About 75 hours per year in the past. Only mowing one small yard with it now and it's irrigate fescue, dust will be minimal. The air pre-cleaner beside my armrest does not have any air...
