Hoses are probably ten years old and ethanol proof type. The pump is higher than the pump pickup line.Mike M

Is gravity supplying fuel from the tank to the pump?

I have the pump mounted just above the axle mounted at the top of the sheet metal hump. The filter is just before the carb.Mike M

So, I turn the key and the Facet pump runs furiously, but no gas gets to the pump. Of course it won't start. This is the same tank I have been using since the restoration in 2000. Pump gone bad? This Facet pump replaced the old Facet pump several years ago. What kind of length of service should I be getting from this pump, if that is the problem?
