Howdy folks, new to the 914 world here, ( not to VW's had lots back in the day...)just aquired a 74 2.0 that was allegedly the restoration project of the laziest man alive for the whopping price of " I don't want to deal with it" ...ie zero.
now to the tricky part, it's been sitting for many moons, and the sum total of his restoration was to take random things apart , and make my life more difficult. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif) So right now I'm trying to get it started , as I'm moving in two weeks, and it would make my life much easier if I could actually drive the thing the 30 miles to the new place ( I'm probably dreaming, but it's worth a shot) anyways on to the fuel pump. I can get the pump to run, but when connected to gas, it just fills up with gas, and stops. gas appears to be getting in through a small hole ( 1/8 or so ) through into the motor from the pump chamber. Is there supposed to be something in there that's fallen out? cuz as it sits, I don't see how it could possibly NOT just fill up the pump with gas... if I can't get this thing to work reliably, I'll get a generic pump ala one of the ones listed in this thread... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...f=2&t=32241&hl= So, any bright ideas out there? cheers, ryan |

Hi and welcome aboard!
First, could you post a picture of your pump just to be sure you have the OE one. Second, the fuel pump circuit is designed that when you turn the ignition key to the ON position, it will energize the pump for two seconds and then turn it off untill you start the engine. If the engine cuts off so will the fuel pump for security purposes. The fuel pump is also designed to have the motor cooled by the fuel going through it. The question is are you getting any flow down to the injection system? Your pump may be wrongly connected, you may have a kink in the supply line or even a blocked line from old gas. We will need more info on you setup and symptoms. |
