Pump is too high and dtsins out ( ends up dry) at each shut down.Factory mounted pump on front of the arch opening for rear axle.That way the pump sleays remained wet and just under the pickup.ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Michael MacLean via SpridgetsDate: Thu, Apr 4, 2019 10:02 AMTo: miniac7 at aol.com;Cc: Alan via Spridgets;Subject:Re: [Spridgets] Fuel DrawHoses are probably ten years old and ethanol proof type.

I am trying to get it running again after a front suspension rebuild and a rear axle leak repair.

The gas in California is crap and goes bad in a matter of weeks.  So, I turn the key and the Facet pump runs furiously, but no gas gets to the pump.  Of course it won't start.  This is the same tank I have been using since the restoration in 2000.  Pump gone bad?  This Facet pump replaced the old Facet pump several years ago.  What kind of length of service should I be getting from this pump, if that is the problem?> Mike MacLean> ------------------------> > spridgets at autox.team.net> > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html> Suggested annual donation: $12.75> > Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/spridgets  http://autox.team.net/archive> > Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spridgets/miniac7@aol.com
