So I've got a fueling problem I need help with.
1974 CJ5 with a AMC 304 that was sitting for approximately 5 years. I did the usual tune up items, plugs, wires, belts, fluids etc. Cleaned out the old tank, filled it with a few gallons and tried starting it. No fuel.
I figured it was the pump from sitting for so long. Replaced that today and still no fuel. So I blew out the lines and they were clear as a whistle. Tried pulling the line from the pump to the carb at the bottom of the pump, still no fuel. Tried putting a different line from the pump intake to a gallon of gas that I sat on the ground and then on the fender, still no fuel.
Pulled the pump, it had marks on it like the cam fuel lobe is hitting it but still no fuel.
Any ideas?
Also thought about ditching the mechanical pump and going electric but I'm not sure if that will fully solve the issue or not.
Suggestions?
