    Hi,
    It would depend on the exact engine as to whether your machine uses engine vacuum alone to feed the fuel or utilizes a diaphragm to pump it into a reservoir. Please provide the engine numbers, usually point upwards on the blower housing. Should probably be a five digit Model, hyphenated six digit Type and eight digit Code.
    Peace,
    Clarke
