Branson 3510 leaking fuel filter cutoff switch

@gstrom99 thanks. I pulled the white plug and no fuel. I also pulled the fuel line and turned the engine over to see if I got any fuel and nothing. Next stop is fuel lift pump? Also, the white plug, I believe the hole was facing down, but I'm not positive. Do you know if down is correct? Fortunately, its easy to reverse, just wondering.

The last time I was in one like that (my SIL's Kubota), I put it back together backwards, so if so just swap it around. His tractor did not have a lift pump (gravity fed from the tank). Take the line off the inlet to the valve, and if no fuel - follow back to the tank (lift pump, if there is one). The SIL's had gunk in the tank (algae).

@gstrom99 Appreciate your help. I have 2 tanks connected with rubber hose. there is a "T" in the hose for the line that runs up to the lift / feeder pump. I pulled each line from their tanks and fuel flowed straight out. I then connected a hand siphon pump to the line at the lift pump and one pump and I got fuel in the line. I didn't see any form of contaimination so now I'm back to the pump. Reading various other posts, I'm suppoosed to hear the pump running and I don't hear anything.
