So ive got a Kohler k321 engine on my 4kw gen set. Normally it runs from the rigs gas tank but i have hard time keeping the tank full enough to allow gas to be picked up by the gen set line. So I fabricated a small independent gas tank to run the generator. Ive been toying with the idea of changing it from a mechanical fuel pump thats cam driven to just running a gravity fed fuel system and eliminating the fuel pump completely. Normal gravity appears to be enough fuel volume to fill the bowl up as needed. Has anyone done something similar and had any problems changing this setup? Ive seen other kohler k321 engines on tractors and such that are gravity fed thats where i got the idea so im thinking theres no reason this shouldn't work on mine. Any pointers or if theres something i haven't considered id be grateful. thank you
