banzai510(hainz) Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 but the thing on the end of the cam sprocket ,the eccentric should be swapped out looks bad or file the sharp grooves down. one can always go with e 3 pound fuel pump. find a switchable 12volt and splice into that. But I run stock Japan made pumps if one can still find them. I bought 2 Carter clones(most likely China as they are cheap) but look like stock japan made one. I seen the made in Mexico gold cap ones also. those were sold for years. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 My 710 came with one of those crappy after market pumps. Found the original in the back with some old plugs and wires. Put the old one back on and been on for over 10 years now and works just fine. Threw the other one away. Quote Link to comment
Primerdimer Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Ok, so first I filed the eccentric down smooth. I got the new airtex pump installed with the spacer. The previous new pump arm snapped off clean and didn’t leave any parts in my timing chain section that I couldn’t retrieve. This new pump has the inlet and outlet in different directions so I had to route my gas line a little different than it was. Tried to start it and nothing. Check the pump outlet and nothing is pumping out. Super confused. Guess I’ll pull the valve cover again and see if anything has changed since trying to start it... idk why this fuel pump swap has to be such a pain, seems pretty straight forward. I’ll post pics of the old and new pump, maybe you guys might spot what I’m missing... Quote Link to comment
Primerdimer Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Filed down... no more burrs Quote Link to comment

Primerdimer Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 No fuel pumping tho Quote Link to comment
Primerdimer Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Fuel line re-route. Thought I read somewhere that these fuel filters need to be horizontal, so I rerouted like this to eliminate that as a factor. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I would have pump it by hand to feel for suction . I think that is a 620 pump. I would put the stock type fuel filter in and add that one you have also (where the clip goes then 2nd one to the carb. got to crank it a few to get the pump working. unless you have other issues you have gas in the tank???? take the fuel cap off and see what happens Edited April 16, 2021 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Filter position doesn't matter. Pump will suck out all the air just like coke up a straw. Quote Link to comment

I cranked it for like 30 seconds in 10 second intervals. I don’t know what the stock type filter is like but I’ll try to source one. thanks Quote Link to comment

Getting the engine to fire up would move the pump faster and might help get the fuel moving.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Ok, so I took the gas cap off and tried again... before, no fuel was even getting pulled into the fuel filter... now with the cap off, fuel is getting pulled into the filter but none is coming out of the output of the pump... guess it’s time to take it off and try to pump by hand?? Just seems weird that it could pull the fuel to the filter but then just stop up in the pump... what does removing the gas cap do that allowed it to pull the gas? Do I maybe have a vent clogged?

datzenmike Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Make sure hoses and clamps are tight between pump and tank. If it can, it will pull air in rather than fuel up. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) make sure your hoses are not cracked and your sucking air. I had this happen once. it was near a mating pipe, for me right at the elbow for the pump a bend i crack the hose when taking it off or soemthing like that and old pump was still good but notice it when putting the hose back on and sad FUCK!!!!!! this is it. as the new pump didnt work also. get a bottle and put some in there and re hook it back up and see if it works then where thatfuel hose come up from the body is it clamped good?
