My 212 will not start nor run except when I squirt gas in carb. Where is the fuel pump located, & how to check it. It has a kohler 12 hp K301AQS engine. Thanks you very much.
 
IF the eng has a fuel pump it will be below carb & to the right of cam gear cover with a steel pipe from same going to left side of carb,loosen nut on fuel line & pull pipe out of carb body,aim end of pipe away from you,crank eng for 2-3 sec a spurt of gas should come out pipe on each revolution of eng,if not either pump bad or filter plugged/line between tank/pump plugged.
 
The fuel pump is located on the front of the engine, below the carburetor, sort of hidden by the air filter.

You can download a copy of the service manual from the official Kohler website (in .pdf format) by clicking on the link below. It has a troubleshooting section as well as a fuel system section.

First things first. MOST of these situations are the result of a plugged up carburetor. Use the engine manual and do the trouble shooting routine.
