fuel pump failure
Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2014 11:06 pm
Hi al
ok so today was a big day, firing the engine up and breaking the cam in, well that was the plan. Its not ran for 2 and a half years as the whole carc and engine has been restored. we couldnt get any fuel to the carb so have decided to change the fuel pump as we removed each hose and tried to suck fuel out of a clear container and all it did was blow bubbles from each hose.
does anyone have a new pump before i ring robin tomo?? no problem if not but what i would like to know is, is there anyway after i replace the new pump of priming it? ie sucking on the inlet from the fuel tank so that the fuel is prime in the line??
cheers all
