Multiplicity Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 . .....35 years ago I bought a well used, neglected, and broken Landlord (314)......I repaired the broken ears on the BGB, the shifter ball in the transmission selector, and whatever else it needed.....It came with a very rusty tank (I know they're repairable for about $20-) and we used it to haul gravel and wood for many years, as is..... Because the tanks in Landlords are so low to the carb, and as filters were added, because the rust didn't heal, the flow to the carb diminished more as the fuel level dropped, especially after the addition of a good paper pack inline filter.....So... I decided to do a little plumbing (FOR FREE)... I took an old used Mikuni Snowmobile fuel pump, plumbed it's pulse line into the oil filler plug on the 23D for pulsation impulses, and fastened the pump to the SG mount w extended arms..... I plumbed the fuel line from the tank - after 1 filter and 2 screens - to the pump inlet, and because these carbs are not designed for pressure feed, I put a "Y" in the pump outlet to bypass excess fuel to the tank...I put the other line "from the Y" to the carb inlet with a final paper pack filter in it.... The tractor runs better than it ever did, now with consistent float levels and carb adjustments - because - with the height of fuel being pumped up through the "bypass line" - the carb thinks that it always has a "full tank" of fuel that now sits about 4" higher than the fuel level in the OEM tank... .
