HI all...
I took the filter out of the AC glass bowl and started the truck The bowl filled with fuel completely and very quickly. In fact, I must have misaligned the rubber seal between the glass bowl and metal top because it leaked like crazy. I'm thinking the pressure and flow is good after that...seems to be providing plenty of fuel to the carburetor on that little test. I placed the filter back in the bowl and after several attempts was able to get it back together with proper alignment of that seal.
Mike, I'll keep my hammer holstered up for the rest of this troubleshooting! I really did just do some light tapping on the top of the fuel pump with a small brass hammer. Nothing crazy or to hard.
Next step I think i'll do is just go ahead and replace the small rubber line from the bottom of the tank to the fuel line that feeds the pump. It's probably very old and I think I have some new line laying around the garage somewhere.
I'll let you know if that clears up those air bubbles.
