Listers - Need to see if you have any ideas what or how to check this
problem. Fuel is just dribbling into carb (newly rebuilt engine, not
broken-in yet).
Have Purolator electric fuel pump (square type,1-5) mounted near fuel
tank; fuel filter installed between tank and pump. Tracked problem from
front to back, pump works fine when fuel line placed into a gallon gas
can & pump switched on. Nothing (or dribble) pumped through when fuel
filter placed in-line between pump and gas can. Thought I had a bad
filter (new steel type) so I replaced with a new standard plastic type
last night. Still will not pump through.
Also, hooked pump directly to fuel tank, but no gas coming through. Pump
is clicking away like crazy, sounds like it is just pumping air. Could
fuel pump be stong enough to pump when less than 12 inches from fuel in
gas can, but too weak when extra length of fuel line & filter put in
place? Need new pump?
Any suggestions as to what to check next would be appreciated.
Yes, I added another gallon of gas to tank before tracking problem.
Thanks,
