e_racer1999 Posted August 10, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 10, 2007 how sure are you that the fuel pump works? do you have enough fuel in the tank? do you smell gas? chances are that somewhere you disconnected a hose/line fron the fuel tank. go to the fuel tank and check all of the hoses, especially the 2 that come out near the fuel level sender. also, you're going to be losing some power by not having air horns on them there SUs.... pick some up from MSA or cannibalize a stock back..... my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beandip Posted August 10, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 10, 2007 If the electric pump is running and you have zero or a low amount of flow. Then check the filter that is in between the pump and the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beandip Posted August 10, 2007 Share #8 Posted August 10, 2007 Well check the filter on the inner fender . Is it full of fuel? I have never been able to hear a mechanical pump over the sound of the engine running or turning over with the starter. If your pump is good it should be able to draw the gas from the tank, unless the line is plugged or a filter is clogged. If you disconnect the fuel line from the discharge side of the pump and connect a length of hose and put it in a gas can , have someone turn the engine over, you should have fuel flowing. If not and the line to the tank is not clogged , replace the pump. There are screens at the banjo fittings on each carb. If the pump proves good then check the screens for debris.
