Who had March 14th?

you can have my mech fuel pump if you buy me a block off plate ($6 on summit). I bought it last dec. I have an electric one now for fool injection.

Your pump is located on the drivers side of the block. Just follow the metal fuel line down to the side of the block.

Oh, and mine had 2 fuel filters, one was inside the frame rail right under the door. Check that one. On the way back from k2 last year my truck kept shutting off and we couldn't figure out why. We took off the filter, which was pretty new I might add and it was clogged. We waited till we bought a new coil to figure that out though.......

It's the thing right next to the oil filter correct??

yeah

Replaced the fuel pump today. Carb is still not supplying fuel. I replaced the fuel filter as well. Found out that the P.O. decided to eliminate the fuel filter located under the driver side door, so the truck only has the filter right before the carb.


Either way, truck won't start. Looking at carburetor issues now, Can anyone tell me where to go from here?

Because that was so easy for you to do?

Not easy but really worth it

i know little to nothing about carbs, but your float could be stuck and thus not supplying fuel to the engine

And it doesn't matter if your filter is new. Bad fuel can clog a filter pretty fast especially if all you have is the one.

Do you have starter fluid? If you spray some down the intake and try to crank, does it begin to start or nothing? If it does not try to start you have a spark issue.

The fuel is maybe a couple months old. I don't think it's bad at all.

I don't, but I know that I do have spark. When I work the throttle lever, the carb does not supply any fuel. This is a fuel/ carb issue.

Un-do the fuel line at the carb, crank the engine and see if you get fuel out. You might have vapor locked it somehow.

How much fuel is in the tank right now? Put the main filter back in if at all possible. There was probably a reason the PO took it off, and that reason was more than likely NOT a good one.

[Hot Pocket]

It's got about 6 gallons in the tank. I'll go get another fuel filter for it tomorrow after I get everything with school and moving done today.

I undid the fuel line at the carb and cranked it, and nothing came out.

Is it possible I installed the fuel pump incorrectly?

see if the pump is creating vacuum on the gas tank side of it. unhook it and put your hand over it or something while starting the engine.
