I have a 1966 (I believe) Jacobsen with the K241 Kohler engine. After a complete engine rebuild, sandblasting, and paint, I got it back together to find the original fuel pump no longer worked. I ordered a new pump from a place called manufacturer's supply company, since I ccouldn't come up with a diaphragm for the original. I had it running and everything seemed fine. This was probably a month ago at least. I finally got back to work on it now and when I had it running it is pushing gas out around the clamped on fuel line and out of the carburetor. I am almost positive it did not do this when I put it in. I should add the carb has been rebuilt with a Kohler carb kit. I am wondering if it is possible for that plastic fuel pump to over pressurize the system? Is there some sort of relief valve inside them? Should I maybe have spent the extra money for a Kohler pump? Also, in theory, because of the location of the fuel tank, would it be possible to eliminate the pump and let gas gravity feed? I would really like to gut the original metal one and let gravity push gas to the carb but I think that's asking a lot. Thanks for the help!

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
