Does this pump need oil for the engine? Or is the engine run on mixed gas? Thank you.

The pump requires W30 engine oil, the kind you can purchase in any Walgreens, gas station or hardware store.

This Engine is a four stroke and they require oil in crank case before starting .NOT a two stroke that requires mixed gas. Hope this helps.

It's a 4-cycle engine not a 2-cycle engine so it needs oil for the engine crankcase. You do not have to mix the gas.

This pump runs at about 3.5 psi, even without a regulator in some applications. Some carburetors may have different pressure requirements, so be sure to verify that this is the right pressure for your carburetor. The fuel delivery should be more than enough to meet the demands of a 2-barrel carburetor on that 4 cylinder engine.

It is a small, finger operated pump. It sucks gas from the tank and gets it to the carb until the engine gets running. Be sure you didn't install it backwards and if that is OK then the tiny screen filter inside the tiny carb is plugged. Open the carb and get some carb cleaner.

The original pump was oil filled and required a gasket. The new pump is a sealed unit and does not need a gasket between motor and pump. Just bolt it on and have at it !

No, oil and gasoline are not in the motor. The manual will indicate which weight of regular oil is best. Once the oil and gasoline are in the motor, everything else should be ready. Mine started right up.

I have been using the pump for a marine application. Which I pump through the dipstick. It takes about 20 minutes for 6 quarts. I found that running the engine for 10 minutes before pumping helps speed the process up significantly when the oil is warm

Hi, no it doesn't need oil. It's a paper media filter. If you got a K&N; aftermarket filter that is cotton filter media, then yes, you would need oil.

If yours didn't come with the required oil... A Synthetic motor oil is required, not sure what compressor/pump is accaptable

This mower runs on regular gas like you put in your car. You install the SAE30 oil that comes with mower.

This is a 4-cycle engine, not a 2-cycle.That means no mixing oil with gas---you fill the oil pan like you do with your car.Instructions and a funnel are included. You use regular car oil--there is a chart for oil weight vs. temperatures.Cheap 10w30 is good for most purposes. I used a 5w40 synthetic oil because we are most likely to lose power in the winter, when its below freezing.

No, it doesn't need oil. It's just the water pump. There are three bolts to attach it, and then you connect the hoses in the appropriate spots. You just replace it exactly the same as the one you remove.

Yes this unit comes with both oils needed. The pump is a sealed pump so no need to add oil there. The engine oil will come in a quart in the box.

The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. The Owners Manual describes fully the fuel/oil mixing ratios.
