The unit hanging below the carb is a vacum controled fuel shut off valve. Keeps the carb from dripping after engine shut down. I never got mine to work well unless I bypassed it when starting which involved a lot of extra plumbing. If you have a starter you don't need it as long as you shut of the fuel on engine shut down. Be glad to talk with you about it if you want.Jim

Let me state some facts first1. Fuel is supplied to the engine by means of a POSA throttle body..2. Yes, the pump plunger is plumber correctly. - just old. 3. Got the pump plunger to work properly so that it dumps fuel into the cylinder.5. Fuel is in the gascolator as stated before (quick drain). 6. Fuel is not getting into the throttle body. 7. Got the engine to come to life for a few seconds by pumping starter fluid into the manifold andpumping fuel thru the primer port. I've attached a picture of my POSA throttle body. Please look at the item below it... I presume this is a mechanical pump (not sure) fuel goes in from the gascolator and exits to the throttle body. No fuel is coming out of it! FYI question - what pressure is expected for the fuel entering the POSA throttle body? Is a pump requiredor the suction vacuum enough to draw the fuel into the throttle body?

Cut the system in half to troubleshoot. It has to get fuel before it can dispense fuel. It sounds like you expect fuel to be at the primer inlet from gravity when you pull out the plunger. Remove that connection and verify. If not, work backwards. That system is a basic system like a series circuit in electronics. If it is not working at some point work backwards till you find where it is working then identify and fix the problem. This is all a "guess" on my part.
