Default Re: 37 flatty questions

If it is not pumping, you need to first check the flex line, on the intake side of the pump.

They can have small cracks in them, that you can't really see. If it sucks any air on that side of the pump, it can't pull gas into the fuel pump.

Pull the flex line off and put your finger over the inlet, while spinning the engine. You should feel some suction if the pump is good. If you do feel suction, the flex line has a leak or the gas line is pluged or leaking somewhere between there and the tank.
