Fuel DeliveryProblem
Okay. I have a 1987 F150, 351, 4X4. It is a carbureted engine. I cranked it up, and had it warming while I was loading it. It sputtered and stopped Wouldn't restart. I added gas, and checked fuel flow to carburetor. Nothing. I installed a new mechanical pump and a new filter. Still no fuel flow. Suggestions? I am thinking about a conversion to an electric pump. Welcome any help.
Okay. Update on progress. I detached the supply from the new pump, and put it in a can of gasoline to check it. It pumps gas. I took an airgun and blew out the line coming from the tank. Truck cranked and ran for about 30 to a minute. Quit again. I'm thinking there's somehow trash in the pickup area of the tank. Anybody know if this model has a filter in the tank?
