semi-trash pump on a flat, level surface
Adjust choke
Attach wire to spark plug
Fill fuel tank
Fill crankcase to the proper level; place
semi-trash pump on a flat, level surface
Remove debris from strainer or hose
Re-prime pump
Place suction hose under the surface of
the water
Relocate pump so suction head is less
than discharge head (maximum 98 feet)
Tighten connectors and clamps or replace
seal packing
Review "Priming the Pump" section of this
manual
Even small pinhole leak can result in
vacuum loss preventing pump from
priming. Check hose clamps to ensure
they are tight. Adjust clamp position if
necessary.
