[AT] Jim Dandy Question

[Mike Sloane]

My Jim Dandy had the Kohler K301S engine with fuel pump. I found out 
after similar experience that the fuel pump was no good. Since the tank 
sits above the engine, I just bypassed the pump and had no more problem 
after that.

As far as the carburetor, if your engine is the same one, parts are 
readily available from any number of on-line suppliers. Here is one 
place to start <http://www.jackssmallengines.com/>
