Default Re: Y block no fuel

Well, the fuel issue is solved.
I feel like a bit of a bonehead, but sometimes I am!
It would appear that the previous owner had the fuel pump hooked up backwards, and as a result, so did I.
I was in bed doing some research on Y blocks last night when I noticed how the fuel pump was hooked up. I thought, hey, that's the opposite of how mines hooked up.
So, tonight I switched it, and there you go.
Turns out a fuel pump works pretty well once you have it hooked up properly. Haha!
Gotta make sure you eliminate the simple stuff first, but I didn't even think of that possibility.

So, now I have fuel. I got the truck fired up, but not to stay running yet. I'll have to mess with it this weekend. I don't have much time during the week because I get home late. And I don't have a garage back yet since losing it in a fire, working in the dark and dirt doesn't make the job easy.

You simply replaced the pump as it had been previously installed. You are not a bonehead.
