Re: Fuel pump on 85 GW
Hi Group
Well, I checked the new filter and I put it in ok. I
haven't seen any leaks in the gas lines.
One note: There was lots of gas in the old filter and
fuel pump when I took them out after the truck sat a
week, so it looks like gas is possibly getting to the carb ok?
I wonder if there is some other hose that is draining the carb of gas when
it sits
a day or longer? I don't see any leaks around the carburetor.

Re: Fuel pump on 85 GW
How is the choke?
On those, you are supposed to pump the gas pedal 2 or 3 times to prime
it and to set the choke.
If you open the air filter and pump the gas with the engine off, does
the choke close tight? If you look inside and pump the gas, do you see
a squirt of fuel?

Re: Fuel pump on 85 GW
There ya go, you have a worn out accelerator pump then likely. New ones
come with carb kits.
I would also check that for a squirt when the engine recently shut
down. There is the odd chance the carb has a crack allowing the
accelerator pump sump to go dry, but it would be unusual.
