Fuel Pump Description/Opertion The fuel pump is crnkcse-pressure-operted, diphrgm-type pump. Crnkcse pulsting pressure (creted y the up-nd-down movement of piston) is trnsferred to fuel pump y wy of pssge (hole) etween crnkcse nd fuel pump. When piston is in n upwrd motion, vcuum is creted in the crnkcse, thus pulling in on the fuel pump diphrgm. The inlet check vlve (in fuel pump) is opened nd fuel (from fuel tnk) is drwn into fuel pump. Downwrd motion of the piston forces the mixture out of the crnkcse into the cylinder. This motion lso forces out on the fuel pump diphrgm, which, in turn, closes the inlet check vlve (to keep fuel from returning to fuel tnk) nd opens the outlet check vlve, thus forcing fuel to the VST. Checking for Restricted Fuel Flow Cused y Anti-Siphon Vlves While nti-siphon vlves my e helpful from sfety stnd-point, they clog with deris, they my e too smll, or they my hve too hevy spring. Summrizing, the pressure drop cross these vlves cn, nd often does, crete opertionl prolems nd/or power-hed dmge y restricting fuel to the fuel pump nd VST. Some symptoms of restricted (len) fuel flow, which could e cused y use of n nti-siphon vlve, re: 1 - Loss of fuel pump pressure 2 - Loss of power 3 - High speed surging 4 - Preignition/detontion (piston dome erosion) 5 - Outord cuts out or hesittes upon ccelertion 6 - Outord runs rough 7 - Outord quits nd cnnot e restrted 8 - Outord will not strt 9 - Vpor lock Since ny type of nti-siphon device must e locted etween the outord fuel inlet nd fuel tnk outlet, simple method of checking [if such device (or d fuel) is prolem source] is to operte the outord with seprte fuel supply which is known to e good, such s remote fuel tnk. If, fter using seprte fuel supply, it is found tht the nti-siphon vlve is the cuse of the prolem, there re 2 solutions to the prolem; either 1) replce the nti-siphon vlve with one tht hs lighter spring tension or 2) replce it with solenoid-operted fuel shut off vlve. 90-859769R1 DECEMBER 2000 Pge 3A-3
Checking Fuel Pump Lift (Vcuum) The squre fuel pump is designed to lift fuel (verticlly) out 60 in. (1524 mm) if there re no other restrictions in the system using fuel hose tht is 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) minimum dimeter. As restrictions re dded, such s filters, fittings, vlves etc., the mount of fuel pump lift decreses. Fuel pump vcuum nd ir ules in the fuel supply cn e checked with vcuum guge, t-fitting nd cler piece of fuel hose. Connect the cler hose etween the inlet fitting on the pulse driven fuel pump nd the vcuum guge t-fitting keeping the t-fitting s close s possile to the pump. Connect the fuel line from the fuel tnk to the remining connection on the t-fitting. c 57721 -Cler Hose -T-fitting c -Vcuum Guge Vcuum Test Trouleshooting This test is normlly performed t n idle speed. As engine rpm increses, there will e slight increse in vcuum.

Testing Fuel Pump Instll cler fuel hose(s) etween fuel pump nd VST. Run engine, nd inspect fuel pssing thru hose(s) for ir ules. Prolem: Air Bules in Fuel Line Low fuel in tnk. Fill tnk with fuel. Loose fuel line connection. Check nd tighten ll connectors. Fuel pump fitting loose. Tighten fitting. A hole or cut in fuel line. Check condition of ll fuel lines nd replce. Fuel Pump nchor screw(s) loose. Tighten ll screws evenly nd securely. Fuel Pump filter cover nchor screw loose. Tighten screws securely. Fuel pump filter gsket worn out. Replce gsket. Fuel pump gsket(s) worn out. Reuild fuel pump. Fuel vporizing Fuel with high reed vpor pressure (winter grde fuel) my vporize (form ules) when used in hot/wrm wether. Use fuel with lower reed vpor pressure (summer grde fuel). Prolem: Lck of Fuel Pump Pressure An nti-siphon vlve. See Checking for Restricted Fuel Flow preceding. Air in fuel line.
