Default Re: Bad fuel pump? 51 Custom

As others have suggested, check the gasket in the sediment bowl on the fuel pump. If you want to coat the cork/rubber gasket, use some Indian Head shellac on both sides of the gasket. Let the shellac set up to where it becomes tacky before you install it. that will insure a tight fit and prevent air/fuel leaks at that part of the pump.
