Broken hearted kid and fuel system

We can put the line from the fuel pump to the carb in a bottle of gas and it will run off that gas til empty.

Again this does not make any sense at all,neither does the Statement if we hook an auxiliary tank to the carbureator supply line it runs just fine. The carbureator and the carbureator supply lune WILL NOT DRAW FUEL! So something is getting lost in translation. Are you hooking the bottle and the auxiliary tank to the fuel pump inlet?

Gravity feed after the pump?

Walking pneumonia and double ear infection

Did I misunderstand?
Oh! Walking pneumonia! My bad.

Fuel line kinked between the tank and the selector valve. Unkinked it and tried and still no fuel to carb.

Qtf? How the ell you kink that?

Rhetorical ofc.

U sure like swappin fuel pumps.
Did anybody make certain the fuel filter is pointin the right way?
Im only on page 2.

There's a lot going here, everyone has given solid advice. Next time they're going to check the cam lobe. Once they do this we'll have a better idea. But, definitely check to make sure the filter is oriented correctly before checking the cam lobe.

Hey y'all, I am medic503's son. I am the heartbroken one. lol.

As soon as we hit the throttle, it just cuts off.

??

I am getting aggravated because it idles fine, but as soon as I hit the throttle, it cuts off.

Sure the cam lobe is a natural direction to wander but you'd think there would also be a running problem. Like backfire or popping. - it's not as-if the fuel pump eccentric would be the only spot affected?? See what I did there?? Hit ya with the double question mark!
Booyah!
What ever happened to that dude? We fixed his truck and he split??


I think the 2nd most likely place to find a kink- you said you replaced ALL the rubber line... I think where the rubber turns into hard line at the back of the cab - in front of the bed is suspect. The rubber.

There are no effing pictures in this thread. Guaranteed that is part of its' problem.

Additionally I think they sell slightly longer fuel pump pushrods. +0.10??

I ALSO think that the carb is suspect.
*lookin at you needle and seat*
It's not gonna be at the float, or is it too low?

This thread is effed up. That poor truck. If it hasn't been driven in 7 years, did you dudes bother to change the oil and filter or did you just start crankling bad oil through it before dumping gas innit?

That stuff on the filter looks like a non problem but it indicates something. Is it rubber or gasket?

It's not the eccentric if it'll idle out of a gas can...and cut off? No way in hades did you buy 4 bad fuel pumps. IN A ROW, you can't blame the pump either.

my bet is on the carb but who saw the hardline kink comin??

Nobody.

The cam lobe drives the fuel pump only. No symptom other than no fuel

 

[Ricko1966]

So I've asked you at least twice does it run if you pull the inlet hose off the pump and put a l8ne from the pump into a can of gas. I cant help you without that info

 

[Rusty Nail]

The cam l9be drives the fuel pump only. No symptom other than no fuel

Oh brother!
I'm not the only guy that gets that.
If that ONE part of the camshaft is worn surely others are too?
Do y'all assert some malfunctioning fuel pump wore its' own eccentric out?
Anybody ever seen one of those IRL? I mean come on. Rick.Rick O.

How come in 5 pages nobody points at the carb?
Or the ignition system?
There are new parts all-over this truck installed by novices. No offense but this simple problem doesn't deserve 5 pages of attention gawldangit. Other dudes got broke trucks too!
Post some pix of your butch job and let 1000 eyeballs look at it why dontcha? Ain't hard. One of you dudes has a cellphone.

Sheesh!

Good grief!

What? Like it does.
This didn't even start with the tank selector- that's only where the story picked up

for crying out loud!

You must be registered for see images attach

You guys are working too hard.

I want to go back to the kink in the hard line, that has GOT TO be hard to do. No tellin what else is goin on.
No pix?
How did you fix it?
No pix? Where was it? Did you find it like that or make it kink?
Y u no haz pix?

Lol butch job.

Ran when parked right?

My truck right now and for many years has been running an electric fuel pump because my pump lobe is worn off,checked it confirmed it,put on an electric pump, been running fine for years. Bought it" needs a fuel pump" installed a fuel pump,that didnt fix it. Pulled the plate held the pushrod with my finger,cranked it almost zero movement.And not the first time I've seen it,which is why i knew to check

 

[CountKrunk]

Good points raised up.

With all this effort, why not bypass everything and get one tank with fresh lines and an electric pump hooked up?

If it still doesnt run, then yeah we need to look at other parts of the truck.

It's not as uncommon as you think.

ROADKILL!!

 

[Rusty Nail]

So it's fixed then?
Did I help?
YaY!
Talkin ish saved the day!
Again.

I knew we could do it!
WTG teem!

Okay I still haven't read every post and I'm not going to,I read enough to figure out you aren't giving consistent information, and not clarifying it when asked about it. So it sounds like it runs on a can of gas run to the inlet side of the pump, not a can connected to carb supply line. This eliminates the pushrod, the cam, the fuel pump,the carbureator and the fuel filter. Thats why I asked for this info on post 64. Anyway you've missed something between the tank sock and the fuel pump, a clogged line a crack in a line the wrong sending unit IDK. Id pull the line back by the tank and put it in a can, see if it runs then. We then will know it is between the pump sock and that point,or we will know its from that point to the pump. Or you're just messing with us because I know you didn't pour 20 ounces of gas down the carb and start it as you stated.
