I have not disassembled it but it appears the float is stuck. I rebuilt it 700 miles ago then the truck started to hiccup. Now it won't start and I don't hear gas being pumped into the manifold when I pump the acc. The fuel pump is pumping. Are the Rochester's better? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,278 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,278 | If you have fuel in the bowl and don't see a squirt of gas when you goose the throttle, you likely have a bad accelerator pump diaphragm or trash is blocking something in that vicinity.

Oh well might be a stuck float. I,ll add it to my todo list. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | Have you checked the inside of your gas tank? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 775 | Yeah I had it bead blasted out and recoated. There was some larger particles in the fuel pump. Could be just the restoring pains of the first few months on the road. I expected some issues. Now the right front shock started leaking. I just need to take a break from the truck. | | |
