I have a twin briggs and stratton motor in my MTD and it isnt getting any fuel. It starts and runs fine if I put fuel down the carb throat. I bought the fuel pump kit but that didnt change anything. There is vaccume suction coming from the lower part of the engine but when I take my fuel line off at the tank there is no suction. I replaced the fuel lines and filter and there still is no suction. I need help to fix my problem. Thanks.

Gas cap vent?I know my 27hp kohler fuel pump doesn't pull much vacuum to the touch.

Congrats! Working on your own stuff can be frustrating.Especially if you are new to it.But it is also very satisfying,when you figure out a problem,and realize you just learned something!I've worked on engines of one kind,or another,since I was 11(I'm 60,now),and started doing small engines about 12-13 years ago...and I learn something every day! Just follow the"rule of K.I.S.S."= "keep it simple,stupid".All this means is,don't look for a major problem,until the simple ones have been checked first. Everyone,at one time or another, falls to this little trap. I once worked on a unit for an entire day,that wasn't getting fuel...then I realized that I hadn't turned the fuel valve on!!
