When I originally started my 34 I used a new out of the box Speedway pump. Cleaned tank and sealed, rebuilt carb new lines fresh ethanol gas can't get non ethanol in NJ did everything. Started fine with some priming of the carb and taking the top of the fuel pump off to prime also. Started fine. Next day went to do some minor stuff and adjustments would not start primed carb then i decided to take off the cap of the fuel pump to prime and the rubber seal was almost twice the size of original put a new cork gasket on the top cap and it started. Ethanol gas not compatible. Did not trust that pump so I put the original fuel pump on that I rebuilt with cork for the top cap also. Started right up and runs fine ever since. Sorry you guys are talking about oil pumps my Bad! This antibiotic is working real well!!!!!
