No, was speaking of the tram pump that sits on the flywheel side of engine...electric pump does not seem necessary on 400 series because of tank placement(at or above carb level)...
In some earlier posts I had made some references to an electric fuel pump(Facet,1.5-3.5psi)based on some others observations...I did get and install that pump weeks before the ignition parts arrived and it made no difference...I then removed it to the "shelf"...This pump could have some influence on problems described by "landscapercarl" for the
2400 series machines because the fuel tank is low and far from the carb....and the fuel line is run thru the tunnel,adjacent to hot hyd. lines when operating long periods in "backhoe" mode...It appears from Carl's description that a vapor lock condition may develop on some 24xx machines.
IF I had a 2400 series, I would probably add this pump and wire it into the dash, spliced off the ign=on terminal
