I've learned something here. I could stroke the new pump by hand and get good vacuum/pressure as I stated above. Using my finger as a gauge. That proved to be a bad way to check it.

I guess my ignorance can be excused as I have never fooled with a lever action Kohler fuel pump, only the ones that work off crankcase pulses.

Looks like JMech nailed it.

Thanks for the responses.

Now you went and did it, J-Mech will get a big head over this.
