Gosh: If I have to take another minute to go
through this I will just scream! Carbureted cars have fuel in the bowls
all the time, except when you turn your car off and the fuel literally boils out
of the carburetor. Then, a short while later, you try to start your
car. You have spark, but you don't have fuel. Crank, crank,
crank! Your poor starter gets hot, dies prematurely, and you face the old
starter replacement or rebuild trauma again! Guys, the British and
Europeans got around this a long, long time ago. It is called an electric
fuel pump. Low pressure ones, like you need on your car are available at
your local parts store for around 40 dollars, they are the right pressure, take
two wires to connect and can be placed anywhere in the fuel line by a trained
monkey. Preferably, you want to locate it as close to the tank as
possible. Most pumps like to push, rather than pull. Ok, that
accomplished, you merely turn the ignition key, listen for the faint noise of
the pump, filling your carb with gas, and start the car. Yes, Virginia,
the stock pump on the engine remains in line, no changes anyone can see.
Again, the knowledge base is enhanced. No one should be offended by this
little scrap of information.
