Default Re: Bad fuel pump??

....If they rebuilt the carbs, hopefully they would have also replaced all the internal fuel lines too. Otherwise some crap from old lines could break loose and plug up the inlet needle and seat or jets on the newly rebuilt carbs!
No, the internal lines were NOT replaced.

...A fuel restriction is between pump and carb, like a partially plugged needle valve, might act like a low float or weak pump, but fuel primer bulb would be hard. A fuel restriction upstream of primer bulb would result in collapsed bulb.
That make sense.

... Pumping the bulb when engine acts up might give you a clue as to what's going on.
Thanks, I'll try that!
