I tried to fire the car up yesterday and it wouldn't fire. I have spark but no fuel. I pulled the fuel line that goes from the pump to the carburetor off and there was nothing in it, and i put my thumb over the line and had my buddy crank the engine, and i got nothing. Not even any air coming out of it.

It has sat since last march, but it ran fine when i put it down. I think there may be a clog in the fuel line somewhere, and it could probably use some fresh gas too. Any ideas on how to drain the gas? Or what to do with it? haha

 

Take the cap off and blow compressed air through it. If you leave the cap on you'll pressurize the tank and when you let off the air you will have a gas fountain on your hands. Is the pump good? The filter clogged?

 

Just start working your way back towards the tank. Remove the line from just before the pump and see if fuel is present. If not, then go back to the tank and remove the line there and blow air through the line to see if it's clear.
I wouldn't blow air back into the tank, even with the cap off, as if there's a clog in the line it will end up in the tank or fuel pickup sock.

 

If there is a clog it came from there. I guess its not hard to disconnect it before the tank. Its right above the pass. leaf spring.

 

Yeah, if it came from there, then blowing it back there means it will be back again sooner or later.

 

I bought a new fuel pump because i took it off to see if it was bad, and it didnt look to be in the best shape so i just replaced it. Hell, 20 bucks for a new fuel pump, why not? And i will blow out the lines in the next couple days. I need to get a new hose for the air compressor first.
