Seems I'm never going to make it to the lake:(.
I reinstalled the carb put in the Star Tron. Started the Minx up and she was running very smooth.I went to put the spark arrestor on and she conked out. Oh my I'm out of Gas I thought.Thought it was Ironic that here I was worrying about all the bad gas. So I filled her up and well guess what? still no gas coming out. So what would you all think? Something
plugging the fuel line the pick up plugged Fuel filter plugged, any thing other than. THE NEW FUEL PUMP FAILED. I can not believe it the Diaphragm plunger separated from the actuator lever.

Confirmed:yes:!! The tip of the lever broke off leaving the diaphragm unattached:boggled:. It must of hit the top and broke:bonk:. Luckily it didn't fall off in to the engine

Here's the funny thing it was rated at 150 Gallons Per Hour:superman:. It didn't even last 2 minutes:doh:.



So I inspected My old one, It was actually OK, Re installed it, runs like a champ:party:.
