hey guys, its time to change my fuel pump, its been in the single digits here in ky and i went to start the ole 620 yesterday and no fuel!!! i blew 60 psi of air through the lines to clear any gelling or icing and hooked them all back up, i left the hose to the carb loose to see if i was getting fuel, NOTHING, i then went and got a heat gun and heated the fuel pump and primed it trying to get it going again, after much struggle and still getting no fuel i found a nice size rubber mallett!!! i tapped on the fuel pump for about a minute then cranked her over one last time, a filthy squirt of orange colored (im assuming rusty) fuel pours into the carb and she fires right up!!! i just cleaned, painted, and reinstalled my fuel tank so i know it wasnt dirt or rust from there, the fuel filter is good as well, so it had to be from the pump
i am thinking of switching over to this

what electric fuel pumps have you guys used??? and if any of you used the mr gasket pump was it worth a count??? i also need a block off plate for the mechanical fuel pump, unless you guys reccomend using the electric pump as a booster for a new mechanical pump
