Default Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project

42 Flathead update,
John installed the fan, belts and generator assemblies on the Flathead and made several attempts to get it pulling fuel from the tank. Seems we are back to square one? We tried many options. Several pump changes. Several calls to Charlie NY. Charlie was great support for us. He is sending a care package to John with components that may help too. We are not giving up, just kicking back and thinking of the next moves to get this engine running on gas from the tank. We may plumb in a auxaillary tank to try that.
Just seems that the fuel pumps are not getting gas to the carb yet. Maybe we are "that" close and dont know it?
John thinks I may have to ride on the right front fender, with my beard blowing in the wind, pouring gas in the carb, as he drives the 42! Hummn??

Regards,
Chris
