My car's been sitting for some months, but with the Qld concours coming up I thought I'd better get it mobile.
But it won't start. No problems cranking over, but there's no fuel getting to the carb. Or even into the in-line fuel filter before the carb as that's dry.
The fuel line entering the engine bay has fuel in it, I managed to suck fuel through using a clear plastic tube, & there's at least 10L in the tank as I've just added that.
So it has to be the fuel pump, surely. The fuel pump is of unknown age & ancestry, it was on the engine when I bought it, so am quite happy to get a new one.
Can fuel pumps self-destruct internally? Is there a diaphragm or something that perishes?
Any advice please as to what pump - brand etc - best to get? The engine is a 302W, with a Holley 650 IIRC.
Your input would be much appreciated, thankyou!!!
