Convert to elec. fuel pump, now gas squirts out of carb Posted by friendofbear [Email] (#545) [Profile/Gallery] (more from friendofbear) on Mon, 27 Aug 2012 19:02:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My 74 had trouble starting, I replaced pre&aft filters, no help. So I opened the 32/36 DVG, saw nothing obvious, so I replaced older stock square Elec Fuel Pump with a similar but newer one, gas came shooting out of carb. Switched back to old EFP, carb still shoots out vent on top. Set car aside for later. A different 74 w/ a Solex had trouble restarting. The new clear pump to carb filter showed low gas flow. I changed the stock FP w/ the new EFP, now again, gas is shooting out vent on top. So I ordered one of those fuel regulators w/gauge that come in colors on eBay. If it works, I guess I'll need a second one. These have a vacuum port, and come with no instructions, so as usual, I'm flying by the seat of my pants. BTW, I'm no Carb expert by a long shot. Anyone else dealt with any of this?
