How To Easily Bypass A Fuel Pump On An Onan Engine

[@oxyfee6486]

Elkskins,You are lucky to have friends like these,and they are lucky to have you.

[@robertcrum6169]

So true Mr. David very well said.

[@Get7Out7ofthe7Boat]

@@robertcrum6169 I'll Third the sentiment.

[@thekingsilverado9004]

Some folks R lucky to have a friend that can fix anything at all. They tell me that here all the time it's just what they tell me after I hand em their bill is the catch.

[@daleblack3536]

Great cast of characters on this channel. Thanks for the dinner.

[@starcarrier1874]

Is it me, or could Elkskins pass as a Hobbit? I think he’s become a significant KZbin character. I can’t start a single piece of power equipment now without chanting “Fire it up, Fire it up”! Arrrgh.

[@wads_o_hair]

It's not just you.

[@Francois_Dupont]

after working on a single engine for 3months and it finally started i yelled like him OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

[@oxyfee6486]

Every time my wife or daughter starts the cars I yell,Fire It Up,it is usually always followed by,”Would you shut up the neighbors can hear”,lol

[@oxyfee6486]

Elkskins I am a huge fan of yours too my friend,I just recently subbed,wish I lived closer.Maybe I’ll make the trip from Woodstock Ontario,Canada,some day,be a pleasure to meet you.

[@Bagooda]

Started up the pressure washer yesterday and went WOOOOOOOOOO wife came out and asked what was wrong. Good thing I wasn't doing the Taryl Shuffle!

[@oxyfee6486]

I just got done posting this same thing,my wife gets so embarrassed.

[@andrewjwilliams857]

I tried and tried to rebuild the Onan fuel pump using the cheap Chinese rebuild kit. I finally gave up and bypassed the fuel pump just as Taryl demonstrates in this video using the B & S vacuum pump. I had to make a gasket using a thick piece of gasket material because the old gasket was very thin and it leaked gas. I also replaced the gas line from the tank and added new plugs and a condenser. It is unbelievable how well the fuel pump bypass worked...the Sears SS16 Onan starts and runs just great.. Taryl Saved my day!

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I’ve also used them on Kohler K series and Command engines to save money over buying the mechanical pumps. They are also great when the fuel tank is lower than the carb and gravity won’t work. Thanks for sharing!

[@Dstromb232]

Taryl, you can go to Ebay and get a rebuilt Kit. Smiling!

[@99andrianmonk]

Pat Sajak has Vanna and now - Taryl has Elk Skins. The resemblance is remarkable. Nice job guys.

[@thekingsilverado9004]

If I see I elkskins in a Bikini I'm gonna ralph all over my key board.

[@warrenbainter2227]

I just did this on a friend's Case 446. Worked out great. Unfortunately, this was AFTER I had installed a cheap kit to replace the original vacuum pump (like you said it worked for a while-ONE hour). Thank you so much. The Briggs pump works so well!

[@marty2958]

Elkskins is like an operating room nurse handing the surgeon his instruments

[@thekingsilverado9004]

Good lord lay off that brand of whiskey please...

[@robertjahrling2377]

That is called a scrub nurse and she is just as important as the doctor is I say "she" because my old lady is one and she makes one hell of a paycheck 😂

[@robertmailhos8159]

Nice to see you keeping the onan engine running taryl

[@barackobama5304]

Can't stop an Onan. Badass engines.

[@billbeutler41]

I did your fuel pump bypass. Works well. Although it was not the fuel pump. it was a cheep Chineese condenser. I put a SBC ~Blue Streak on and no more loss of power at high speed. I have a 18/6 BG/MS with a DD11 Carb

[@Me16768]

2:51 Elk Skins making sure the steering wheel is in right position for this critical step.

It’s always nice to learn something new Thanks guys.

Your Onan it Taryl! Get it..

[@mark-wn5ek]

Yeah, and the water's deep too.

[@TheMapleDaily]

I am about to do this fix on my 1973 Sears SS/16 Twin tomorrow, thank you Taryl! I can't wait to FIRE IT UP FIRE IT UP FIRE IT UP!

I thank you very much for the stickers you threw in, just haven't decided where to put them yet. keep up the good work so we can keep learning double k from western pa

[@CentralNH]

I love the sound of an onan!

[@chatrkat]

Good simple solution to buying that expensive factory pump. Thanks Taryl!

[@godfellas483]

Elk Skins is the Ed McMahon of you tube. He should be laughing more in the background like Ed McMahon did...

That’s funny lol.

I just had a flash back of Jonny wearing his Turbin on his head reading those tarot cards to Ed...

[@hossboss3218]

Thought about it but you have a small vent in the cover plate won’t thar leak? Or do you use Taryl putty there?

[@AK-ck7cy]

I did something similar but I used a electric fuel pump on my case 446 tractor it runs great. No problems. It starts really easy.

[@Paleoman52]

Cool idea! Elkskins is such a hoot!

Dang that was a nice midweek snack..

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

[@jensenwilliam5434]

Thank you!!

[@singncarpenter6270]

What did you plug that pulse line into? Intake manifold vacuum hole?

[@Elkskinsmowerjunkyard]

crankcase port then to p port on fuel pump

[@deanmoore3776]

Nice job 👍

[@garryludwick2990]

Coool. Great. Ok, now how about a tecumseh OH120 with a LMH CARB fuel pump ? Can you do the same without removing the carb, or is it just easier to remove the whole thing, buy a fitting and intake gasket, etc...?

[@ronduck2812]

Did mine like this 3 or 4 years ago still working

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Great video Taryl, those china carbs are garbage forsure lol good fix!

[@jtdundee]

Pulse? Is that hose connected to a vacuum port on the intake that moves a diaphram on the briggs pump?

[@rickcham7781]

Was wondering the same thing

[@kenhilson786]

Yes. It would have operated the pump built into the carb. I expect that it connected to the block piece that he didn't use.

[@smallequipmentmaintenancee3062]

Can this be done to the Briggs opposed twins?

[@mark-wn5ek]

Watch that circumcision tool...almost got his finger.

Great video Taryn I would appreciate a video on how to fix the surging on one of those onans I have a p216 onan on a wheel horse 1996 model 416 that just keeps surging any help would be appreciated thanks Ron

[@timidater4803]

wil that work with the briggs oposed twin engines? I hate those carb mounted vac pumps

[@bradpeak4822]

Is the adjustment the same for the brass float--1/8", or is it different?

[@nealdaleyjr7625]

That was a damn good Sears mower. I believe Roper had one as well. Not sure who actually made it.

[@111455]

not sure what's wrong with mine but after a replacement check valve plate it pumped fine for a few seconds and then stopped, opening it up revealed the rubber flaps under the reeds had somehow blown out or expanded and were hanging up.

[@billkrause4585]

What, no hose clamps? Where did the pulse hose go to the engine? Great video, thanks for that.

[@oxyfee6486]

Any crank case pressure above the oil line.

[@redneckbryon]

No fuel line clamps or are you going to add them after??

[@allanvaneste9106]

I like to use mikuni fuel pumps. They can be rebuilt and the kits are readily available.

[@Elkskinsmowerjunkyard]

those plastic fuel pumps are made by mikuni. kohlers use them too

[@Gutterball]

recall the HIGHWATER pants Elkskins was sporting in some older video. Straight out of Beverly Hillbillies

[@TheMapleDaily]

Taryl What did you do with the diaphram breather hole? Its shooting fuel out! There is a tiny hole on that plate where that giant circle piece is on my model. DD15A Carb Think im gonna block her up with something or maybe a little tack weld over it xD

[@wiscowoodsman1246]

I did tried this repair and fuel sprays out of the air bleeder hole in the inlet cover! Should I knock out check valves? I’m not sure what to try next?

[@jmk1086]

I have the same issue. How did you resolve???

[@madmodifier]

Same. Trying to seal with moto seal

[@connerca14]

Is that a check valve on the fuel line and where can I get one? I have drain back causing my onan to crank way longer than that thing did.

Should also get a new Model Replacement Brass Float for her. As the old Ones ALWAYS fail. well on 95% of the onan bf ms engines i have worked on.

[@lth68]

what was the pulse line hooked too?

[@nelsonjacob4753]

Elk skins You should use a better fuel filter since its got a fuel pump, that style is for gravity feed.

[@kenhilson786]

White is for pump. Gravity one is red.

[@jackmioff000]

I just cut out the diaphragm, tightened and sealed the gaskets with leather gaskets and gasket maker and plugged the "in" outlet with a bolt and the other end became my pulse pump feed

[@stephenrankin2078]

Is that Buddy Hacket

[@Gutterball]

where does the PULSE hose originate? I thought crankcase had negative pressure.

Tighten it up then,fire it up ,fire it up ,fire it up 👀😁🖖🖖✌✌✌
