Pulse fuel pumps don't deliver much fuel at starter rpm. That you got some says you're getting fuel TO the carbs. The most common issue with lack of fuel FROM the carbs is dirty jets, like 90% of the time. Pull the carbs and clean them. No parts needed. There are cheap tools for cleaning jets and flow passages.ok up date , pulled the sediment drains , pto had the most fuel drain out , pulled the plugs , with the drains still off pulled the cord , I m just getting dribbles of fuel out , would think with this 1/2 in fuel line I would be getting a lot more , I did pull the in tank line seems ok , if the needles were stuck closed I would not get any fuel out of them at all , I have never seen what normal fuel flow should look like off of one of these pumps , my guess its set up for high volume ,and its a dual feed,, should have some pretty good blast out of the drains , opinions please
Also, water in fuel is a very common issue. So, while fuel Iines are off, get fuel to flow from the tank by gravity or pressure. Use a clear glass container to inspect the condition of it. Should be clear as water. Yellow to gold color is bad gas. Let it settle for 15-20 seconds and any water will settle into a bubble at the bottom. If in doubt, just remove it completely and put in fresh gas.
