Hello all. I have a low hours Kohler 8E gas generator 1999 vintage which refuses to run unless I pour gas down the carb. It will continue to run as long as I keep pouring in gas. I have changed the gas filter feeding the carb but no luck. By my way of thinking it has to be the carb or fuel pump but which? Beating on the float bowl in the event of a stuck float did not help. The fuel pump is getting voltage. Does anyone have some suggestions for tests and checks I could do to isolate the problem.
Will any 12V fuel pump work or does it have to be sized to the carb and system. The one thats on it is a Carter.
All advice / suggestions welcomed.
Thanks! KC
