Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the engine run at idle but die while mowing? A: A weak pump can fall behind under load, but a plugged filter, vent, line, or carburetor can do the same.
Q: Does it need electricity? A: No. This style is operated by engine pulse/vacuum.
Q: Will it fit every FR-series engine? A: No. Match 49040-7008 and compare all three port positions.
Q: Does this pump fit FR730V? A: Some aftermarket catalogs include FR730V while others list FR541V through FR691V. Verify the engine specification number and original pump 49040-7008 before ordering.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is an aftermarket item. Brand, model, and part numbers identify fitment only; compare the original part and the listing details before ordering.
