Does this pump have a prefered direction? https://www.carburetion.com/products/ProductDetails.aspx...
I can't find directions or indications on it. I'm not getting fuel, but don't know if it's this or the filter or the pressure regulator. It did get stuck when I had it before the filter but then I freed it by reversing polarity. Now I have the filter first. If I reverse polarity now I can hear bubbles in the fuel tank.  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I think in the end it was just a bubble in the fuel line. |

Now on finally driving this I got stuck with vapor lock. After sitting a while I could drive off. It's not terribly hot out and this was later in the day. So I'm wondering if the fuel pump is making a lot of heat. In all the playing around above "bubbles" maybe does mean fuel vapor just from the pump heat without the engine running. That may also explain why some cars have problems in the rear location while others don't. Does that fit anyone else's experience?
So now I'm not sure if I should relocate the pump thinking it's going to overheat nomatter where it is. Maybe needs a new pump? |

I have never seen a fuel pump get hot and vapor lock. I have seen carbed engines that run hot and vapor lock. Things that cause vapor lock. Poor routing of fuel lines, timing, compression too high, engine cooling tins not install, engine covered in 50 year old grim and blocking cooling fins. Hope this helps, Matt |

Post a picture of the pump mounted. Is hot air blowing on the pump? To what degree has the fuel system been renewed?

It happened again after like a five mile drive. I felt around and nothing is really that hot.
I've been working on the car for a year. So these are the first drives. As part of the redo I've replaced the plastic tunnel lines with metal and all new hoses elsewhere - er may have reused a couple short pieces. New fuel filters.   |

Is it a dies while driving thing or no restart after sitting while hot? What’s the story with the folded over piping piece near the firewall exit point?

Dies while driving. I think by folded over piping piece you mean the return line. But it is connected to the tank. That's just there in case it would be converted over to higher pressure fuel pump I guess. |

But the line runs from the fold to the filter inlet? The metal line is capped and goes nowhere.

Fuel pump goes to big fuel line, your connected to the return. Having a fuel return with low pressure is always a good thing because of how the fuel returns to the tank for reserve fuel. I think your running out of gas...... Matt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |

The in tank filter sock would be on the factory supply line. I don’t think the sock is currently in play. The folded return (now supply) line could be well fouled with tank debris backed up at the fold. Somewhat of a mess.

Right, it's these https://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...=PEL-SS914-7074 Are you saying both are needed for some reason? Not sure where I'd put it off the carburator. Or I connected the wrong one to the pump? I got a couple fuel baths rearranging things to begin with. There is fuel comming out the smaller diameter one after putting 1 gal in the tank. So I'm pretty sure I got the feed line going to the filter. |

The hardline link is for a set. Only one is on your car.
Is it carbs (with an s) or carb as in a single? Long story short, the fuel pump supply line is connected to the folded over and now kinked return line. |

Ok, good tip, larger line is feed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Then I need some kind of reducer thing to get to the filter unless I get that in the filter..
Another clue: If I blow into the line from the carb, the pump works for a while. That allowed me to take the first drive and then I did it again got another 4 miles and now again and I got 1/2 mile home. At first I didn't think that was the temporary fix, but maybe was. Maybe I need another fuel filter already also? |

Heres a better picture of the bends. They're as they came.
 Now with the right line as supply.  But it still doesn't work. A few tests run: 1. Disconnect large pipe - lots of fuel drop out. I probably let out 1/2 gallon in 15 seconds. So not the sock. 2. Disconnect line at carburator, run pump (key on) - pumps continuous (1/2 gallon fast) . So not a clog. 3. Idle engine - starts at 2 psi at gauge, stalls after 5-10 min, no pressure at fuel gauge, pump still buzzing (after draining some fuel through system) 4. Leave pump to run, engine off, no flow - fuel pressure gauge shows 2 psi after regulator but pressure drop to 0 eventually (5-10min) pump still buzzing |

Any recommendations? I saw summit racing has a $40 option. But I have Napa, Autozone, Orielly and Advance Autox2 within 5 miles.
