Well... the 914-6 is done. All the rubber, seals, bumpers windows etc. have been put back in. Last task was to clean out and install the gas tank. I used new lines up front and none are pinched etc. The car won't start.
I can't hear the pump. I can usually detect the whine and hear the gurgles in the tank once it starts. I checked the wiring to the pump and it is fine. Does the fuel pump need to be primed after the tank has come out?? Help me with the final step... Thanks! |

Houston... we have ignition.
The little whore just wanted me to taker her out and wine her and dine her. After laying on my back for 5 minutes having gas drip down into my pits and crusty crust fall in my eyes, it was out. I put 12v to it an no-go. I cleaned it up a bit and decided I'd see what makes these things tick (or not tick in this case). I took the nose cone off and shocked her with another 12v. Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Smiling because I didn't have to spend a bundle getting a new pump ($345.00) and pissed because... well you know why! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) After laying on my back for 5 minutes having gas drip down into my pits and crusty crust fall in my eyes, it was in. I turned the key. Filled the bowls. Pumped the throttle and my measly little, worthless, good for nothing 2.0 stock six whoof whoofed to life. And it sounds AWESOME! And I Liiiiiiiiike it!! Couldn't be easy could it?!?! |
