QUOTE(porsche-tom @ Nov 25 2014, 05:25 PM)  i lifted the tank to unkink any kinks and tried to start it nothing. i also took the gas cap off and nothing. i looked inside the tank and the filter is fully submerged. i also checked the fuel lines, i have the tank going into the filter and the filter into the pump and the pump into the engine. i also pulled the the inlet of the carb and got nothing. Wow, some kind of mystery.....gonna venture that the pump is wired backwards maybe? If not that, and you can clearly hear the pump running, then I'm betting that the screen inside the tank is blinded/clogged. Now, the previous comment about having an air compressor can be of some help here....you can disconnect the line going into the fuel pump and backflush that screen with a shot of compressed air--that'll get you going for a short while 'til the screen makes up again. Then Siphon out the fuel, pull the tank and pull that screen fitting out to be sure. Good luck and please post what you find out! |

In your tank you will one of these.
 The top one will let your car run, the bottom one wont. Its on the suction side of the pump in the tank. Fully remove tank to replace. Still cant figure out how the hair and lint got in my fuel tank? |

Sometimes it's eliminate possible problems one piece at a time. Hook up the fuel pump to a portable gas can and let it run for a half hour and hot. Just my 2cents. Good luck.

Really easy to pinch a hose. I had exactly this problem, and that's what it was. That and the rotary pump was a piece of crap, even though it was new it went out a week later, maybe because it was pinched for awhile, but it wasn't very long.
