The problem is that the Weber isn't getting any.
This is on the Europa S2.
When my lovely bride switches on the fuel pump while I have the fuel hose
disconnected from the carb, I can hear the Facet ticking away and can feel a
faint pulsing of air at the end of the hose.
This make me think one of two things is going on:
The pump has somehow lost its prime. This could be perhaps solved by
filling the tanks up to the top (they were half-full when car was returned
to my shop with a broken halfshaft, so they still are). Or perhaps putting
a bit of air pressure into the tanks. Yes, I know, be careful or one could
"pillow" the tanks.
OR
The pickup tube has developed a hole inside the tank. One would expect that
filling the tanks up to the top could fix this also.
Does my logic here make any sense?
