fuel pump question
Hello,
I am just wondering how the fuel is suppose to exit the fuel pump on a Cadet 2165? Should it be a constant stream of fuel into the carb or an intermittent stream? I am trying to determine if the fuel pump is bad. (I also cleaned that dime size screen behind the pump already). Changed the fuel filter and made sure the gas cap vent was not plugged. The engine is the Briggs & Stratton V-twin 16 HP. The 2165 will start up and then stop.  TIA thesid

The fuel exiting the fuel pump is a pulsed stream as it runs off the engine vacuum. Sounds like you have either a bad fuel shut off solenoid valve or the connection is bad. When you turn on the ignition switch you should be able to feel the valve attached to the bottom of the float bowl click. If you feel no click and have 12v at the wire with the key on the valve is most likely faulty. Had to replace one on my 1641 that has a 16hp Vanguard.

Thanks for your response. The fuel pump checks out. I am trying to get at the fuel solenoid valve to see if it is fuddled up with dirt or whatever. Just having problems removing housing. Also checking ground conneciton.

[QUOTE=thesid;77574]Hello,
I am just wondering how the fuel is suppose to exit the fuel pump on a Cadet 2165? Should it be a constant stream of fuel into the carb or an intermittent stream? Just resolved that problem on my 1440 that's got a V-Twin 14hp. A 1994 I bought brand new. Would start and immediately stall out. After cleaning gas tank, gas line, fuel pump and checking fuel solenoid. I pulled the top off the carb and checked the needle and float which all looked good. You can actually see the fuel solenoid operate when you turn the key. Had it all reassembled and the same problem exsisted. This time I pulled the top off the carb and located the brass nozzle or jet that let fuel into the lower chamber and removed that. It had some fairly large holes that looked pretty clean, but then noticed the microscopic pin holes in the middle part of this brass rod. I had to take a single strand of a 22g multistrand piece of copper wire and run it through all these tiny tiny holes and ta...daa! Reassembled and started up like brand new!! Got my hands on a carb cleaner called Sea Foam.... that will help too! Hope this helps oldsasquatch 1994 Cub Cadet 1440 1977 JD 210 2007 Kioti CK20

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
