How to replace the Cushman Town & Fairway fuel pump
Town & Fairway fuel pump specs and hose layout
Fuel system: Low-pressure diaphragm/pulse pump on typical older carbureted gasoline versions.
Fuel-line layout: Tank supply, carburetor outlet and crankcase pulse line are typical.
Pressure: Low-pressure carbureted system.
Check these before buying a fuel pump
Pulse hose: A split, loose, collapsed or oil-soaked pulse line can stop a good diaphragm pump from operating.
Fuel filter: A restricted filter can mimic a weak pump, especially when the engine idles but starves under load.
Tank vent: A blocked fuel-cap or tank vent can create vacuum in the tank and progressively stop fuel flow.
Fuel hoses: Check for cracks, loose clamps, soft/collapsed hose and air leaks on the suction side.
Pump ports: Confirm inlet, outlet and pulse hoses are connected to the correct ports.
Town & Fairway fuel pump troubleshooting
Cranks but will not start
Check for a usable crankcase pulse at the pump and verify fuel reaches the pump inlet.
Starts then dies
Check the tank vent, fuel filter and suction hose for restriction or air leaks before replacing the pump.
Weak under load
A tired diaphragm, leaking pulse hose or restricted filter may supply enough fuel to idle but not enough for acceleration.
Fuel leaking
Replace damaged hose, clamps, pump body or fittings before running the vehicle again.
