- The priming lever, how much should it travel? Mine seems to only travel about 3/8". The one on the '6 travels at least double that. Is this okay or do I need to pull it off before continuing? David A

- or I would pull it off and make sure the F/P arm is on top and not under the cam shaft, this can happen, the lever should travel much farther than 3/8". "FT"

- The mechanical fuel pump has finally given up. I recall previous posts about different electric fuel pumps that can be placed in the fuel line and specifically the need to remove the mechanical pump

- IMO, the "best" pump is your original, rebuilt. They are more or less infinitely rebuildable, include a perfectly adequate filter that never clogs up (as paper element filters can if the gas is 'wet

- They take about a half hour to rebuild in the field and a rebuild kit takes up WAY less space than a spare electric pump and is way cheaper. Normal failure mode for a mechanical pump is that it pump
