 Topic: 190 gas fuel pump
Posted: 16 Dec 2022 at 7:33pm |

I know that this topic got brought up a while ago, but I need advice on it again. Pretty sure the fuel pump is out on my one ninety gasser; going to check it out better if I ever get done moving snow. Anyway, if it does turn out to be bad, are new ones available? Think I remember from when this got talked about before, the suggestion was made to put on an electric one, and I think I remember someone mentioning gravity feed and eliminating pump all together. Kind of need er fast, as it's my main snow blowing tractor. Guess the original mechanical one would be my first choice. Is there something in the automotive sector that fits to it? Thanks for any help, Darrel

I would think if you would have to go with an electric fuel pump, I would recommend a pump that works in the 2-4 psi area for fuel pressure so you don't blow the needle off the seat. With mechanical or electrical pumps you can also run a clear inline fuel filter to monitor cleanliness coming outta' the tank too.... Steve@B&B

I had wondered about the "pressure issue" ,in the needle and seat holding it back. If I put a clear filter in the line, it should go after the pump, I assume? Or before? Thanks Darrel

In many automotive applications filter is between pump and carb. But I think you could do it either way. Anything to keep the fuel clean. Also in automotive fuel pressure that we considered good was 4-6 psi. Does not take much to keep carb full. Nothing you can do to change it on a mechanical pump. Some of the electric pumps have adjustment and some not. Holley used to have a nice electric pump for carbs that was around 6psi.

I've got one running direct right now, no fuel pump, have to keep a little more gas in it but it works. Rubber line and filter in the line.

You could do what Adam is doing and then send yours to Hite Parts Exchange in Columbus, Ohio to get rebuilt. They have a fast turn-around.

I should add that I've also got a shut off on the line that I always use. I'm not sure if it would leak past the float or not but I shut it off as a safety

It's been several years ago but, I got one from a NAPA auto parts. You might try them. I've got a couple that could be rebuilt just setting on the shelf.
