ragingbull Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have a 86 Brat and it's having a hard time starting but once she starts she's running no problems. I think it's the pump as it looks really old.. I'm seeing lots of different styles of fuel pumps but none of them look stock to me.. Here's a list from rock auto.. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1267758,parttype,6256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 why blame the pump by its looks ? Before you try next cold start look at sight glass on side of carby to see where level is in fuel bowl. It is the fuel supply - when you think about it, if it is correct level engine should start and run until that small supply has run out. No need even for a pump until it drains or dries up !

ragingbull Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'd try that for sure but it's a Weber carb.. Can I check that some other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a small clear fuel filter (Napa Gold 3002) in line just before my weber fuel inlet. Comes in handy to see if fuel is getting to the carb or not.

ragingbull Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I was checking out my carb (weber) today and noticed only one fuel jet was squirting fuel when I tugged on the throttle. Is this normal? Im guessing the second fuel jet engages when i hammer the gas pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
