That should work. reason I asked is they also have on that is around 7PSI, that would be a bit much and could cause flooding.

:High5: What cub crazy said.
I went and picked it up on the way to work and will be installing it tomorrow morn.

Cool deal! Can't wait to see how it works for you.

I got the electric pump installed today ,I cant say it started right up but it did start a lot easier. It will take a few times to figure out the combination that works best. It took about 3 hous to complete the Install that included changing out all the fuel lines, wiring, drilling and mounting Heres some pics of the finished product.**** pictures are not turned in my photo album not sure why it does that sorry.

Looks good!:beer2:

Here's what works best for me starting my 1872, 2082:

Turn the key on and wait on the fuel pump for about 5 seconds or until the fuel pump quits raddling so hard, bring the throttle up 1/3, start cranking the engine over and after it gets up to speed (3 seconds or so) then pull the choke out until it fires, then partially push it back in and they usually take off and start.

I have found that if you do not bring the throttle up (off idle) or pull the choke out before the engine is turning over they start harder and it usually take several attempts to start them. This same procedure above also works best for my 2182's, 2084 & 2284 .

Great job on the install!

Thanks Allen I hope yours is fixed now.
Thanks cucrazy
CCpullin I'll give that a try thanks again for all the advise

Woody - Sorry for your hard start troubles. Some comments that may help.

Plug gap - As per the Kohler Magnum manual, the correct gap for the spark plugs is 0.035". There is a Cub Cadet owners manual that contains a misprint and calls for a smaller gap. The smaller gap does not produce as much energy and the Magnum can run quite poorly at this smaller gap that Cub printed. (I am deliberately not stating the incorrect gap to avoid confusion; no reason to repeat wrong information.) Early on my Cub journey, I got fooled by this misprint and I can tell you it makes a big difference in performance.

If you were to need to reduce the gap to obtain spark, you would need a new magneto. This doesn't seem to be your problem, but these threads live forever and I don't want anyone in the future gapping their plugs incorrectly. The Kohler Magnum Service Manual is available on their website.

As for your electric fuel pump, it looks like you did a nice job, but it is mounted too high. Most electric fuel pumps, as with this one, need to be gravity fed. Ideally the pump should be mounted below the fuel tank, and at worst, even with the bottom. These styles of pumps are very good at pushing fuel but do not create strong suction. They are also sensitive to dirt and that is why Mr. Gasket so kindly gave you a filter; many electric pumps have failed due even a small amount of dirt.

I would recommend that you find a mounting point below the tank and make sure you keep the filter on the inlet as you have done. If you keep it where it is at it may not pump properly when the fuel level is low and you may have the pump wear out prematurely.

The other comments from others that might help are about cranking speed. If you are trying to start it at temperatures below 30* you may have difficulty without a real good battery, good electrical connections and you might need thinner oil such as 10W-30. If you go with the 10W-30, you will need to switch back to straight 30W in the spring. Magnums will consume multi weight oil when it is warm and carbon up the combustion chamber.

Tom thanks for the info, Where were you a week ago LOL. It so happens I am running my plugs at the misprinted gap but since the fuel pump install it hasn't been an issue as far as starting. But I will go back and correct the gap because I want it to run at its peak performance. I saw in the paper work for the pump (after the fact)that it was a gravity feed so I drained the tank down to see at what point it would starve for gas it seems good until about an 1/8-1/4 of a tank. One day I'll move it down so the top hole of the bracket goes to the bottom drilled hole (about 2 inches) I think that's about all the room there is so I may have to live with it, I'll take another look tomorrow. As far as the colder temp goes I was aware of the affects that can cause and heavier oil not helping it to crank any faster, but for me in this case the tractor has been in a garage which is kept about 50 deg when I'm not in there so it was a none issue It cranked very well. But certainly great input for someone that may be having a starting issue.
