It just depends on where you get it repaired & what they find..
& the pump removal isn't fun..
Did you ever take off the back cover, inorder to get to the control rack??
IF NOT, don't forget about the spring & shim in there..

No sir. I'm quite weary of that. Especially since it doesn't look like most pumps on other 1600s. I don't know what I would be looking for either.

Under the cover is a spring.. NOT a big strong spring that's gonna shoot out atcha.. Just a long "pen" type spring..
Once you have the cover off, you'll be able to get ahold of the control rack that moves the fuel on & off..
Just grab it w/ your fingers & see if it moves.. most times all it takes is to push & pull on it afew times to loosen it up..
Then put the spring on the knob on the cover, make sure the other end goes into the rack & bolt it back up..
. what are you afraid of?? It ALREADY doesn't work.. Lol

Copy that......good point. I'll keep ya posted and again, thanks. I can't afford a whole new pump. Especially aggravating since I've never had any issues with this tractor.

I took the back plate off and pushed on the "rack" a few times and found nothing broke. So I closed it up added oil, and tried her again. SHE FIRED UP!!!!!!

Thanks allot for your help. I'm guessing it got stuck for some reason? Low on oil maybe.

They don't like to sit.. ADD some fuel conditioner to the fuel..
.. & keep the pump topped off w/ FRESH oil..Oil goes stale after awhile too..
I knew your could do it w/ a little instructions.. Congrats..
