This is the way the parts book says the gas tank should be set up.
However, my Magnette doesn't have the banjo nut on the top of the tank
for gas line. My tank has a rubber hose located approx 1 1/2 inches under
the large rubber filler tube for gas line that goes to the fuel pump.
This afternoon I replaced the fuel pump ( which was a waste of time and
energy). Disconnecting the fuel line from tank should have spilled out a
bit of gas. Nothing. Blowing into gas line I could hear air
entering gas tank.... Filter not clogged ( if there is one). So....
The pickup tube in the tank must be loose/goofed up. Has anyone
replaced/ repaired this pickup? Hate to go in completely blind.
