Re: IML:Fuel Problem on 1974 Imperial



I have a 1970 Newport and a 1972 Imperial. They both had been fitted with electric fuel pumps in line with the regular fuel pumps when I bought them. When the key is turned on the pump will kick in for about 5 seconds to build pressure and then the cars start right up. I don't know why but this seems to be an issue with these cars.

for what its worth i have the exact same symptoms in my '74 Imperial; it takes 4 cranks with pumping to start whether it sits for 24 hours or 6 months.its annoying but I live with it..it starts so much better in the winter if you can call tampa having winter weather...I wonder if the bottom of the bowl on the thermoquad is cracked allowing the gas to leak out...

My 1974 Imperial has developed a fuel problem. When it sets over night, all the fuel siphons out of the
carburetor (thermo-quad) and the fuel filter. This is the third rebuilt carburetor, all have the same problem.
I have owned the car since 1994 and it ran perfectly until last spring. I had the carburetor rebuilt at that time
and have had this problem ever since. I put on a new fuel pump and filter with the 2nd commercially rebuilt
carburetor on. Three different shops have worked on the fuel system with no luck. If I drive the car regularly
after it first starts, the car runs perfectly. All the vacuum lines seem to be in the correct place. I am out of
ideas.


PLEASE HELP!
