Okay, here's the full story:
73 1.7, carbed. Square old fuel pump died. . .replaced with a round Napa one Then started acting like vapor lock, fuel pump was REALLY hot Finally wouldn't run at all. . replaced with identical fuel pump (warranty) Ran great in hot and cool weather until today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Drove 11 miles home from work (ran fine), stopped at the mail box. . exhaust smelled a teeny bit rich. Got mail. Started car. . drove 200 feet and it died and wouldn't start, acting like vapor lock. 1/2 tank of gas more a bit more. . pushed it the rest of the way home and am frustrated. So, what fuel pump SHOULD I be using??? Maybe I have procured the wrong one? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Have I left any needed info out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks Sean |

I think I might check the fuel filter(s) first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Fuel Filter has less than 1000 miles?So? The question is not its age, it's how dirty it is. If you have crap in the tank, like rust, your filter can clog up in a day ... Check the filter. Wash it out and see if there's any crap in it. Take a flashlight to the tank and see if there's crap on the bottom. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I'm replacing the fuel filter (temporarily) with one of the clear jobbies so I can see in it. When I looked in the bottom of the tank thru the filler neck, I saw part of a big dark flat round thingie and shiny tank bottom with four dark random dots smaller than a pencil eraser. Sean |
