For the last couple weeks i have been having an intermittent engine cutting out problem. Engine sputters for a while then goes away. I replaced the fuel filter before the hoedown and didn't have a problem until driving back to the campground Saturday after wheelin. On the way home on Sunday while checking inside the trailer I noticed a steady stream of gas coming from the fuel pump, it seemed to be coming from every where around the pump. It was a stream that required the sacrifice of a rug, a towel, a pillow and a laundry basket to catch the gas until I got home. So my question, doesn't the piece in the engine that actuates the pump run off of the cam? If so, shouldn't I be able to bump the engine over to give the arm coming out of fuel pump room to install it? I have bumped the engine 5-6 times and what ever that is inside the block doesn't seem to move in at all to allow room for the pump arm.
I know, real basic stuff here but what am I missing?
