fuel pump replacement gone wrong...
 

Ok I replaced the fuel pump and got it all put back together. But the
engine will run for about 5 to 20 seconds and just die.

In doing this I had a number of issues of concern. One. in the bottom
of the assembly that the fuel pump goes into that goes in the tank
there was a washer but there was also supposed to be a 'check valve'.
I could find no check valve.

I also put about 2 gallons of gas in the tank not 10...
and tried to start it right up as apposed to turning the ignition on
and letting the pump setup for about 20 seconds or so.

If this check valve is a real issue I will need to take the tank back
out and replace it. But the problem is I can not find this part. Any
advise on this.

Might I put more gas in and try to start it after the ignition is on
for say 20 seconds.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Should only run for about five seconds, before it automatically
shuts off, to protect us in an accident. Bring the it up to full
pressure by turning the ignition on without starting, five, ten times,
then trying to burn the air out of the system, then cycle it again.
