82 hatchback fuel pump inop


Recommended Posts

hey guys, im currently putting together a lifted hatchback with a H/O dual carb motor out of an airplane for a guy.

 

tried to get it to start, but the pump did not prime. went to check voltage at the pump, but i'm getting 0 volts. had an assistant turn the key back and forth to see if anything happened.

 

Is there a common part of the fuel system that causes this problem, and is there an easy way to bypass the fuel pump control unit? Also, where is the control unit?

 

Thanks!

Could be wrong,but, I think the FPCU on carbed cars won`t activate the fuel pump until it sees ignition pulses from a cranking engine.

 

Be aware that motors w/aviation camshafts will perform poorly at low rpm.
