Where is the Town & Fairway fuel pump?

Typical location: under the seat near the gasoline tank and engine; many older Textron/Cushman platforms mount the pump on a nearby bracket or seat support.

Before ordering: Exact mounting and pump type vary by model year; later gas platforms moved to EFI.

How to replace the Cushman Town & Fairway fuel pump

Park on level ground, switch the vehicle OFF, let the engine cool and work away from flames, sparks and hot exhaust parts.
Disconnect battery power. If a fuel shutoff valve is fitted, close it; otherwise clamp or plug the fuel supply hose to limit spillage.
Photograph or label the fuel-in, fuel-out and pulse/vacuum hoses before disconnecting them.
Remove the hose clamps and hoses, then remove the pump from its bracket or mounting point. Install the replacement in the same orientation and reconnect each hose to the matching port.
Replace cracked or hardened fuel/pulse hose and a restricted fuel filter while access is open. Keep hoses clear of the exhaust and moving parts.
Restore fuel flow and battery power, start the engine, then inspect every disturbed connection for leaks and confirm steady fuel delivery.

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.
