Stumped again

[firstade]

Alright, so I was driving the pig the other day and it was tunning great. The next morning i went to start it up and there was a spark but no gas. I checked the fuel lines and no gas is getting from the tank to the pump. I filled it up completely and tried it again. Still nothing. I bought a new pump, which I didn't think would be the problem, and that didn't do it either. The only thing I could think of was a clog in the line or the cam that drives the pump is not working. You all know so much here, and this problem is stumping me. Thanks for the help in advance,
Andy

If it runs on propane and gas is there any way the switch is broken on the fuel selector? Maybe it's stuck on the propane setting and it looks like it's in the gasoline position?

Yeah, I was hoping that wouldn't be it, but I'll try and make sense of the wires. It's an eagles nest under the dash...with baby eagles.

If you're not getting fuel from the tank to the pump...problem lies in the system pre-pump. What about fuel from the tank w/ the gas cap off? Can you blow air back the line into the tank to clear any possible clogs? There are also return and vent lines. The fuel should flow via gravity through the supply line as long as the system can regulate its pressure correctly- I think...

Glad I could help! Hope your day gets better my man.

Thanks Lamb! I'm going to take a stab at it this weekend. Hopefully nothing too involved. I'll try all those things! Thanks again for the help!

Well, everything is back to normal. After blowing on the lines, it was apparent that there was air getting into the lines. Thankfully it was just the plastic fuel filter. I burned it with some slag when welding up the exhaust pipes. $4.00 later, problem solved. Runs like a top. Thanks Kevin for the help!

Good Deal! Glad it worked out - and glad you didn't burn up your Cruiser when welding!!!
