Looking for proper parts... and maybe a walk through for replacing control arm bushings and Radius arm bushings. How difficult is it? Possible to be done in a driveway with normal tools? Need to take care of this sooner rather than later...
Also... thinking about adding a electric fuel pump back at the tank to create positive pressure. My Genset fuel is split off the line for the engine. When running, the Genset pump doesn't seem strong enough and the engine pump pulls it all starving the generator.
I assume you're referring to the rubber/polyurethane bushings. In general, no, it's not especially difficult. Getting at them without affecting alignment will be the biggest challenge. I've used a hex socket and heavy C-clamp to do it in the past. (Socket as a drift/driver and C-clamp to press them out and in.)
There should be a separate fuel pump for each fuel user (engine and genset). Separate fuel tank pickups are ideal but not always possible.
The fuel pumps for small engines in gensets assume they are the only user of a fuel source. So, your situation is common when someone 'cuts corners' through inadequate knowledge or an effort to reduce costs.
