This is my first time starting a topic, I don't know if I am even typing in the correct location, but I am having an issue with my '74 LJet and fuel pump. The pump starts with the ignition switch, Pump also runs when Air sensor arm is manually moved. However when starting, it seems that the air sensor is somehow cutting off the fuel pump circuit. The PO had bent the arm so it never opened, but I have bent it back to move as designed. If I disconnect the electrical plug to the Air Sensor, the car starts and runs fine......any thoughts? BTW I have replaced the dual relay, but that did not fix the problem.

with the key on and when you move the arm under the black plastic air flow meter top, the dual relay will click and the fuel pump will run. also when you crank the car and observe the air flow meter pointer, it will wiggle back and forth coming off the small set of points and letting the fuel pump run. If the flap/pointer does not move you have a massive air leak, could be the ribbed intake boot loose or with a crack.
