fuel pump needed

News flash! These engines DO NOT use a fuel pump!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuel is sucked from the fuel tank, and there is a check valve on the end of the fuel line, in the fuel tank.
 
Are you sure about that? I thought that too, & was asking around at a show because there are parts of something but not all there, looks like a plunger, & was told by 2 separate guys that it has a pump? Ive only seen oumps on diesels. Perhaps its a primer pump for filling the carb to start?
 
Not on a style C. Carb has a small starter tank built into it, for starting on gasoline. The full size tank is for kerosene. Start on gas, switch to kerosene, after it warms up. Most folks just fill the large tank with gasoline, and run on that. Fuel is drawn from the tank by suction. There should be a check valve on the end of the fuel line. I've worked on a 3 HP style C several times through the years. There is no fuel pump.
 
Try this parts supplier. You can get a manual from him, and maybe learn what you're doing.

Here's a link to a Fairbanks with a fuel pump, BUT it is NOT a style C. Scroll down, and you'll see the info about the carb, The style C does not have a fuel pump. Are you sure that you have a style C?
