Well, i also had to replace the fuel pump on my 51 this weekend. it was sending more gas outta the side of the pump than was making it to the carb. Anyways put one on that was purchased from Napa for the 235 - they say it is the same. Well, put it on and she started right up with good fuel flow thru the clear filter. Started putting around town running errands, and then it started running rough at idle, but ok at higher rpms. by consulting my handy-dandy clear filter - you guessed it, no flow.
What gives? is it a bad pump that worked right at first and then doesn't? should i be using a different pump - are the 216 and 235 pumps the same? :confused:
thanks for any and all info.
