Fuel Pump Issue _Help

[Hollywoodgt]

Hey guys haven't used the cart much and just started too a week ago. I got to a hill and she bogged out. Ended up blowing in the hose to carb and she started and ran really good. Then it did it again so I replaced the fuel filter and it was fine.

Went to drive it again and she'd keep just turning over. Checked the fuel line after the pump and before a mini FF and it was dry. I checked for pulse on the line from the motor....it was weak but had vacumm. So I put the hose right out of the pump cranked it over and nothing. I'm thinking bad pump?

Any suggestions or I'm I missing something

Try cleaning this thing with carb cleaner if you haven't already (red arrow). It's a vent for the vacuum. If it's clogged or with dirt or grease it could keep your fuel pump from working right.

I will do that sir....thank you very much.Had plans of pulling it apart tonight.

Ok blew out that screen with carb cleaning ...and cranked it noticed I had fuel. She started and died. So I did what my son did before and blew through the line that went from the pump to the card.....then she started and ran? Kinda weird, maybe there's junk in the carb?

I personally would pull the line from the motor to the pump, pulse line and blow air though it to clean it out, sounds like you did, so that is probably good. Then pull the carb and clean it all out. I personally replaced all 4 paper gaskets, but I suppose as long as your careful, you might be able to do it without issue.

Agreed...waiting for word on my upgrade so this may not be a big deal
