Gary/Mike/Volf;
Thanks for the tips. That raises a question. Are you suppose to put any kind of sealer (teflon tape, locktite etc.) on the fittings on the fuel pump. There wasn't any kind of o-ring that I remember and I didn't put any kind of sealer on the fittings. I tightened them down, but I remember being concerned about overtightening/breaking them off.
I was able to start the truck the last two morning without having to prime the carb with a gas can. It took repeated pumping of the gas peddle and cranking the engine. After about 30-45 seconds of pumping and on again off again cranking it sputtered to life. Does that help clarify the problem at all??
