Page 14-21). Be sure the arrows on the front cover point from the fuel inlet to the fuel outlet (Figure 14-18,
Page 14-21). Tighten the screws to 26 in-lb (3.0 N·m).
FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Connect to the fuel pump the fuel line (2) that comes from the primary fuel filter (17). Install a new clamp
(16) (Figure 14-16, Page 14-19). See Page 14-19 for proper routing of fuel lines.
2. Connect to the output side of the fuel pump, the fuel line (3) that goes to the carburetor (Figure 14-16,
Page 14-19).
3. Connect the impulse line (7) to the bottom nipple on the fuel pump. Use a new clamp.
4. Install the fuel pump:
• For DS or Villager 4 vehicles, install the fuel pump on the frame and tighten the mounting bolts (26) and
locknuts (25) to 60 in-lb (6.8 N·m) (Figure 14-16, Page 14-19).
• For Carryall vehicles, install the fuel pump onto the mounting bracket with two thread-rolling screws and
tighten to 40 in-lb (4.5 N·m).
5. Turn the fuel shut-off valve on top of the gas tank to the open (ON) position (Figure 14-22, Page 14-26).
6. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and place the neutral lockout cam in the
SERVICE position and chock the wheels. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks. If the fuel pump
leaks, a rebuild kit must be installed to replace all gaskets and diaphragms. See following WARNING.
7. Place the neutral lockout cam in the OPERATE position.
