QuestionQUESTION: I was reading another question asking about an electric fuel pump. The guy mentions the pulse hose for the fuel pump. Wear does that pulse hose run to? I had taken my engine apart to ring it and replace a rod/piston. I am not sure where this pulse hose went.

>>You can get More Information About Onan Engines from this Site Addy; http://www.tulsaenginewarehouse.com/catalog/onan/ and Select 1 of the Engines Listed or Select www.smallengines.cc for Older Units or www.smallenginebusiness.com for Newer Units.
>>Usually these Pulse Hoses were Connected to the Crankcase at the Oil Fill Tube.
>>I Usually Replace these Pulse Pumps with an Electric Pulse Pump that is Rated at 4 to 7 PSI. I have Less Problems with the Electric Pumps than I do from the vacuum Pumps.
>>Do Not Use the Spring Style Hose Clamps. Replace them with the Scew Style Clamps.
>>The Spring Style Clamps Weaken and Cause Vacuum Pulse Pump Problems.

QUESTION: What part number for the electric pump?
AnswerHello Again Terry:
>>The Electric Pulse Pump I Use can Usually be Purchased at Any Automotive Parts Retailer that Carries the Mr Gasket Brand (Mr Gasket Part Number 12S). It is a 4 to 7 PSI Pulse Pump and it Uses the Same Pressure as the Vacuum Operated Fuel Pumps which is Ideal for Carburetor Operated Engines.
