Re: Replacement fuel station pump
Stay in this forum you posted in. Do a search of "fuel pump" and you will find several older threads discussing this exact thing...including one about replacement gears. These pump gears can "swell" and drag against the pump housing and / or the cover....seizing up the pump.

Should have mentioned already doing the research here and elsewhere, but appreciate the insight. Most of those threads related to the bad gears, didn't see anyone mentioning a current replacement pump if that was what mine will ultimately need. Hopefully gear replacement/sanding is the fix for ours.

An update. Removed the fuel pump, popped the cover off, removed the plastic pump gears and then sanded one side down as per other threads. Put it back together and it's been working since, which has been a couple months now.
Nice that the pump did not need replacement.

Just wanted to add this, gasoline starts breaking down after 6 months. I fill the tank with fresh fuel and stabilizer every September (prepared for hurricane season). Every spring I start drawing down the tank by fueling my ztr and four wheeler during the summer. I’ve been doing this for 5 years and I haven’t had any problems with the pump. I just emptied the tank yesterday and now need to refuel it. I only use non-ethanol gasoline in this tank and Seafoam as a stabilizer. I have a Cyclone 3110 with a single tank.
