Thread: Not getting gas??

Tweet

There is a 1/8 tank in it. I took the line off that comes from the tank and nothing came out. Its a mechanical pump. Its the same pump for a 350 and a 400 i believe. What button are you talking about? There was the pump itself, the rod, and thats it. Am I missing something for the pump itself? Thanks, Josh

No you got it all, but everything has run back to the tank and it takes a bit to get it pumped up. And it takes a perfectly air tight line from pump to tank. She cant be suckin one nano of air. For sh1ts and giggles why dont you take your pump off and connect a short section of hose to the inlet, the other end in a jar or tin can of gas and pump by hand to see how good it squirts. I know it was working, but a double check will put your mind at ease. Then make sure its bolted back up with plunger above pump arm. They can be tricky to hold up there while putting pump in place. If you cant find a leak source or your trying to just get it running just take a piece of hose and run it to a jerry can of gas. Dont need to be an actual gas tank
