Although I don't log in often, I watch.

Most likely your fuel pump isn't the culprit if it happened all of a sudden.

If you have a 2 stroke DD, there is a hooked piece in between the pump and the engine. It often is the problem.

Pull the three bolts and gently pull the pump away from the engine, looking at the connectors.

I've been able to make one before to get me to a place that was somewhat more comfortable to perform repairs.

Michigan city isn't someplace I'd like to spend the night with out some real fire power available.

And real big fire power if the square has rounded in the fork drive you can use a punch to square it up enough to get out of there
