Great video mate. I knew how to fit a pulse pump but didn’t know how they’d handle pulling fuel a fair distance. I’m running a 212 in a cyclekart and want the fuel tank up front, and now I know it’s possible 👍🏻
@@brianfletcher7942 I have seen many last 10 years. I have seen them go bad in a few months. It seems that the average life is at least 2 years. But 2 years isn't bad for something that costs $10 and pumps 7200 times per minute.
Great video Mr. KENNY. Please let me ask you something, maybe you can help me. I have a 18 hp briggs engine in my van, that runs my carpet cleaning machine. I've taken that fuel pump off and put a 12 v stronger little pump, to pull gas from the tank of the van, on the other 24 hp kohler engine I had, it was running fine, but on this 18 hp, whenever I leave the engine on idle, the pump will run dry and it shuts off. To have it on, I have to always keep it a little accelerated. Any idea on how to fix that? Thank you
I think your pump is fine. Something is blocking the idle circuit in the carb? Once you crack the throttle a tiny bit the main jet starts pulling a little fuel. This compensates for the plugged idle circuit. I would tear the carb apart spray carb cleaner in all ports from both sides. Then blow it all out.
Out of curiosity, could you use one of those gas caps with a barb on it and drop fuel directly into the tank instead of going into the carburetor? That would save some time and swearing with all of that disassembly.
great video! Where did you get the brass fitting for the valve cover and the pump? Also, is the pump one size fits all or are there different sizes? We have a gx200 were looking to convert.
The parts are all in the videos description. Just click where it says "more". The pump is a fit all pump. It will pump plenty of fuel to any engine you choose.
Excellent video. Did you have any problem with the carburetor not working correctly with the fuel pump? I have 2 5.6 gpm machines powered by Predator 459 engines, and I have read that some engines have a gravity fed carb and others have carbs specific to fuel pump models.
Hi Kenny, Another great video! 👍 Can you send me a link to where to buy a gas tank for a 10gpm Honda unit 3500 psi. I'm not sure how big. Maybe between 5-12 gallons. Any suggestions? Many thanks,
Great video im about to do this for my predator 212 AR 45 the brass barb fitting u used to pick up pulse whats the name of fitting and best place to order?
I'm replacing a gravity fed fuel pump on a motorcycle , sport bike. The thing burned out. When im replacing the fuel pump and the lines is there any extra trucks I should know or is it mostly plug and play and prime
I'm enjoying your video's. Those two bolts you had a problem with, I would of put a nut on them and tightend them down. then put the sheild on it and put the top nuts on it. If that makes sense.
My ignition switch didn't have 12 volt supply in the run position or I would have. I have used this style with success. Just buy two so you have a spare. amzn.to/4aThyW2
The crankcase vent is made to attach to the inlet of the carb. Also it has a baffle. I think it's best to leave the crankcase breathing alone and add a fitting.
@@housewashing5693 Thanks. I have a Honda GX390, and I found a carb insulator with a vacuum port that I will install to give my pump the pulse it needs. Thanks again for all of your videos!!
There was no way to add a 3 way valve since the fuel line was buried under the tank. I had to take the tank off so I left it off. But yes, if you can get to the line the easiest way to do it is leave the tank on and add a 3way fuel valve.

Another great video,Kenny that I am probably unable to complete😊.
You can do it! I make everything look complicated.
How’s the filter been working out? You almost lost me in the beginning, but it started sinking in the deeper I got into the video. Thanks!
Working good
Another great video. Didn't even know about pulse pumps until now. I need to do this on my setup.
I'm happy to help.
I just saw on the chickanic channel show the pulse pump as a part that gets brought in as being bad but is rarely bad.

@@brianfletcher7942 Your pump and carb will work better longer using non ethanol fuel.

No. There would be no way to regulate the fuel going into the tank unless you have a float valve.

@@housewashing5693 thanks!!!!
So did the purge line suck any oil into the fuel pump being so low in the valve cover?
How do you size the pulse pump to your engine size? I have a Honda GX390 that I want to add a pump. I’m unsure of what size Mikuni pump to buy?
Any pulse pump made for fuel will supply plenty. Don't over think it.

Awesome!
I'm replacing a gravity fed fuel pump on a motorcycle , sport bike. The thing burned out. When im replacing the fuel pump and the lines is there any extra trucks I should know or is it mostly plug and play and prime
Can you elaborate on what a gravity fed fuel pump is?
Great video! Maybe a check valve at the y going to your other machine or a 3 way off the main tank?
The fuel pumps check valves do the job of adding a check valve. Adding another check valve isn't needed.
I have a predator 459. I have a fuel line on top of my gas tank and 1 on the bottom. Do you know which one I would attach to?
what's the size bar from the feed line tank to the bars?
1/4 ID fuel line fits the barbs.
I'm enjoying your video's. Those two bolts you had a problem with, I would of put a nut on them and tightend them down. then put the sheild on it and put the top nuts on it. If that makes sense.
Good idea!
Love your knowledge brother. What do think about a 12volt fuel pump?im thinking it may be a little easier for me. Thoughts?
My ignition switch didn't have 12 volt supply in the run position or I would have. I have used this style with success. Just buy two so you have a spare. amzn.to/4aThyW2
Couldn’t i just run some alligator clamps to my 12 volt battery and flip a switch anytime I wanted to use the ar45?
@@johnthe_don You sure can.
Thank you for replying to me brother. I really appreciate that
😂 i just literally took a tank off one of these yesterday. Took 5 minutes with ratch box wrench....
Off a Briggs?
Nice job
Thanks
Another great video!! Question, could you have just used the breather vent on the crank case by replacing the hose with a barb fitting?
The crankcase vent is made to attach to the inlet of the carb. Also it has a baffle. I think it's best to leave the crankcase breathing alone and add a fitting.
@@housewashing5693 Thanks. I have a Honda GX390, and I found a carb insulator with a vacuum port that I will install to give my pump the pulse it needs. Thanks again for all of your videos!!
@@WallyJ2K If it's a port between the carb and head it won't work.
@@housewashing5693 I've seen multiple articles and forums of people talking about using them as the pulse for their fuel pumps.
@@WallyJ2K There is no negative and positive pulse on a vacuum port. Only negative. But you can try it.
Great video Kenny, but why not just add a T on the side vent line from the valve cover to the engine? Wouldn't that work as well?
The pulses are reduced on that side of the breather. It also will mostly have a vacuum on it since it's tied to the carb. I don't think it would work.
Excellent job and video
Thanks
Why not use a tapered pipe thread tap and fitting
The metal isn't thick enough. You could try though. Might work?
Hey Kevin. where ya at we haven't heard from you in a while
I've been working
have you never heard of rive nuts. Why not put a 3way valve so you could use both tanks.
There was no way to add a 3 way valve since the fuel line was buried under the tank. I had to take the tank off so I left it off. But yes, if you can get to the line the easiest way to do it is leave the tank on and add a 3way fuel valve.
To do all that work i would just switch a 12 Volt pump and be on my way !!! Facts
I really could have used it like it was. 12 volts are fine.
why not just t off the positive crankcase vent
Then you won't have a crankcase vent

Yes. No ethanol fuel in small engines. Even if they say it's ok I won't do it. It will save many headaches - believe me.
You must have dropped some coin on that much gates fuel line ? Why go Chinese on the pump I have not had much luck with those lasting long
That's a Briggs and Stratton engine.
36 min of bitching about the system and 2 min on how to install the pump. 😂
Exactly.

@@ol-man-duffyj688 LOL. If I never bitched I wouldn't know when I've had a good day. Lol
Will this work on a Honda Gx390. I would love to hook both my 390s to a tank like this
