Fuel Pump; Fuel Pump Replacement - Ezgo 605586 Repair And Service Manual

FUEL SYSTEM
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
B
Do not let the carburetor vent hoses become clogged or
kinked. Engine heat will cause the fuel in the carburetor
bowl to expand and may result in fuel being expelled
from the carburetor if unable to vent through the vent
tubes.
To adjust the belt tension after installing the carburetor, see
starter/generator adjustment instructions in ENGINE section.
Replace carburetor and air box in reverse order of dis-
assembly. Use a new gasket to ensure sealing of carbu-
retor. Tighten hardware to 50 - 70 in. lbs. (6 - 8 Nm)
torque (Ref. Fig. 4 on Page H-4).

FUEL PUMP

The fuel pump is mounted on the vertical seat support
on the passenger side and is operated by crankcase
pressure impulses from the engine. As the pistons
move up in the cylinders, a negative pressure moves
the diaphragm within the fuel pump (Ref. Fig. 7 on Page
H-6). This movement draws fuel from the fuel tank into
the fuel pump chamber. This action also closes the out-
let valve which prevents fuel back flowing from the car-
buretor.
As the pistons move down in the cylinders, a positive
pressure is formed in the crankcase which causes the
diaphragm to move in the opposite direction (away from
the engine). This action forces the inlet valve to close
and the outlet valve to open and supply fuel to the car-
buretor float bowl.
