I'm having issues with my 36 LB engine regarding fuel. There is no fuel filter so I want to add one. I have a fuel pump from a 51 truck motor with the built-in glass bowl filter. It will physically bolt up, but my concern is it having the correct "throw", that is enough to actuate the pump but not so much as to cause it to bottom out or jamb/bend or break anything. I can use the original "tower" with the oil fill cap and the original pump shaft. Am I setting myself up for failure or disappointment? Thanks in advance!
