Charlie69 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Use a lawn mower gas tank with gravity feed. Tank higher than carb inlet. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 just got to watch the vid.....that was awesome!!! Congrats!!! Sounded pretty good too!! Do you have the coolant system working? Water in the radiator? That's probably your next step so you can run it for more than 30 sec. Actually....getting constant fuel is probably the next step :) Fuel pump?!? I better dig in that box again! Yup I bought hoses for the radiator after flushing it with a garden hose. Filled it with a 50/50 mix. Granted there might be an air bubble in there I am not aware of. But I tried to fill it really slow and there is no heater hooked up. The post on the end of the temp sender is broken off almost all the way, but I should try to jerry rig it back up. Or just get one at Napa. I have the same broken stem on the oil pressure sensor too. Before I run it for any length of time I need to get those two things in order so I know what is going on! Quote Link to comment

datsun65 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 BTW: It probably uses the same fuel pump as my 1960 SPL212 (E-Engine). It is still available!!! Bought one this summer. Only $35 new. AIRTEX 1379 Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 WAY TO GO FISCH!!! I knew it was just a matter of time. Try taking your pump off and putting the inlet side into a can of fuel and pumping it by hand. That should prime it and see if it works or not. If it does, hook your line from the tank up to it, prime it, bolt it back up. Again CONGRADULATIONS!!! Quote Link to comment
