Howdy,
1980 FJ40 with stock mechanical fuel pump.
short version is just had some work done and the mechanic suggested swapping the holly carb for a Weber 32/36. Said it was running but needed a new fuel pump. He was running it with blasts of starter fluid. When I went to pick it up another guy (mechanic went fishing) was helping me load it up and he couldn’t get it started with starter fluid so we winched it onto my trailer.
I pulled the fuel delivery line going to the carb and it’s squirting in pulses (like it should?) but there doesn’t seem to be any fuel getting to the carb.
I tried starter fluid, nope. I dribbled some gas in there and nope. I replaced the hoses and cleaned out the line from the pump to the carb.
Filter is new, clean and filled with gas.
thoughts?
thanks,
Ian
