Can anyone tell me where the fuel pump is located and also the location of the fuel filters for this model. I am not getting any fuel to the main filter at the front of the engine. With this filter removed shouldn't I see fuel being pumped out when the engine is cranked? Thanks - any reply will be appreciated.

There are two filters, both at the front on the top of the engine compartment. One is a canister filter (looks like a classic oil filter) the other is a pre-filter the size of your forefinger inside the left hand side of the fuel filter housing as you are facing it.

If your motor turns over but wont start, start with checking the issues discussed in the below thread.

On that engines fuel system the fuel pump is downstream from the filters.

The fuel pump must SUCK the fuel from the tank thru both filters before it pressurizes the fuel!
