 can a gravity fed carb be converted to a pump fed i bought a vintage gd that some one had replaced the engine with a 16hp vanguard with a 9 qt fuel tank on top. i want to convert it to a pump fed with a remote tank. my question is, is the carb the same for a pump fed vs. a gravity fed? can i just put a pump on or do i have to change carbs? its a 303442-1068-a2. i talked to B&s and they were not very helpful saying it was a modification and they dont want to be liable.

Re: can a gravity fed carb be converted to a pump fed If the carb maker offers that option yes. Just as I just found out mikuni offers different float needles and seats for gravity apps and pump apps.
