Fuel getting to the fuel pump problem.
New fuel tank with
this new sending unit.For now: fuel line goes straight from the sending unit connection to the fuel pump, but I can't get it to get fuel there. Removed from the engine, the pump works fine. It took longer than usual for fuel to get there, however- I know the pump's pressure ratings. The lines are clean. The sending unit is a fresh new install, and there was nothing in the new tank. Filler neck, gas cap, & hoses also new. These parts were sold together, as a kit.
I have a good supply of fuel when the engine got to running for the run-in last week. I disconnected the fuel line from the fuel pump intake side & back-pumped (?) the line with air.
This got fuel pumping fine, but that is not ideal to do every time.
Thank you for any advice on how to check this out.
