Final update. Purchased 2psi electric fuel pump from SUMMIT Racing. Had other issues with fuel lines that required all new fuel lines. Thanks everyone.

I can blow air into the gas tank from the fuel line that was connected to the fuel pump intake. Drawing fuel from the tank is very hard. Will have to take tank off again and check it out. Something is pinched or clogged up still. Out of town family members require I suspend for a few days.

Now looking for low pressure vacuum gauge to test that fuel pump.

No luck. Engine cranks and starts when I spray starter fluid into Carb intake. No gas getting sucked into the fuel filter. Is there a fuel pump vacuum pressure tester out there??

Carburetor didn't look all that bad, but since they can be tricky (my limited experience) I decided to order a replacement ($29 - Annpee AM128355 Carburetor with Gasket Kits for Kawasaki FD501V) while cleaning the old one. Two days later it arrived and installed. Also replaced all fuel hoses...

Did not want to spend $100+ for the service manual as the mower belongs to my neighbor [recent widow] that I'm trying to help since my retirement last year. Will take a closer look at that Kawasaki engine to determine the amount of movement on that rod. The engine label shows the following...

I recently replaced the fuel pump on a riding mower [17HP water cooled Kawaski engine], model T1760 as no fuel was being pulled from the fuel line. The engine would start and run after injecting starting fluid directly to the Carb intake. Determined the fuel can be pulled (siphoned) up to the...
