Thank you!, Seeing Red thats could likely be whats happening. The pump works great till it quits and thats it, time to go get the 140 and tow chain.
Will check and see if any signs of unusual wear on the lobe and marks that would indicate the lever getting off crankshaft lobe.
May I ask how you proved the lever was getting off the lobe? Also how you determined which way to shim pump mounting screws and approx the amount of shim thickness since a little shim there should go a long way at the contact point of the lobe? One would think the lobe would be hardened enough it would never wear enough to cause a tracking problem.
With the fuel tank,lines, bowl all cleaned out and the screens on pump and bowl cleaned, it looks like it could possibly be a lever/lobe issue. That along with the sudden and complete failure to pump.
I would like to thank you and everybody else that has replied as this board is a fantastic resource. Kinda makes you wonder what we did for information before the Internet and forums such as this.
