[6pack] Diagnosing fuel pump problems

[DLylis at aol.com]

Before you do anything else, give the dipstick the "sniff test" to see if  
there is fuel in the crankcase.  If the diaphragm fails the fuel can, and  will, 
go to the crankcase.  If it passes the "sniff test"  disconnect before the 
forward carb.  Have a can ready to catch the fuel but  do not expect much 
pressure, as there isn't much.  
In the top of your fuel pump there are two valves that keep the fuel  moving 
in the correct direction from the tank to the carbs and will not permit  it to 
go the other way.  Make sure those are working properly.  
Have you already changed the fuel filter?
