All of those questioning if there fuel pump is working or not, there is a
simple solution. Add a fuel pressure guage upstream of any fuel filters (near
the carbs). Summit Racing Equipment has an inline 15 psi one for around $17 or
an in-dash model for $88. Having one of these will tell you if your fuel
filter is clogged or if the fuel pump is not working properly.
The fuel system in my '76 midget has a high volume electric fuel pump feeding
dual 40 DCOE carbs. The mechanical pump was removed and the opening in the
block was covered with a plate. In between the pump and the carbs is a fuel
filter, a pressure regulator, and an in-dash pressure guage.
I don't have fuel pump or carb problems anymore...but I also don't get 30+
miles to a gallon either.
Keep the greasy side down 'cause they roll better that way!
