usually, the fitting that you are after is the one in the front of the filter base, or the top......is that the one you are attacking...

Yes, it's a female hex, I guess 3/8. My allan wrench fits but no leverage

Clifford, I thought White or Black smoke was " Is a Pope- Not a Pope"!....

Its a LH pump.

Check air to the engine. Sounds like you aren't getting enough air.

Gray-white smoke is usually an indication of unburned fuel.

Check your air before you before you replace anything.

TomC touched on it if there is not enough fuel for a injector to preform the atomization process they puff out smoke,but he can check his muffler and air cleaner for birds nest

I'll check the muffler, but we were just out last weekend for the Virginia samboree. We take it out at least one weekend a month
This is the first time it would not fire. It's been dripping fuel more than oil, so leaning towards pump.

Lol that is a good reason to looking at the pump if they leak that much the beast is going to lose prime

You should replace the fork drive too look on the pump where the lines attach it will tell you if you need the RH or LH.

I always replace the pumps with a DDEC high capacity fuel pump a little more work but worth it IMO

Now I'm confused - I'm not DDEC concontrolled and not sure what a drive fork is. I'll try and attach a picture of the lines in - out of the pump.

Your fine just to keep the confusing down go back with what you have that is a 24-6 a good pump for the 8V92
The DDEC uses the same style only a higher volume.The fork will be on the pump when you remove the pump it drives the pumps and they wear the square will be come round over time, they don't cost much replace it for insurance those things are to hard to replace

BeastMaster · May 25, 2015, 08:43:36 AM

I ordered a new LH drive for 8v92 and a c wrench, will it come with a new fork?
