one problem after another lol..... just fixed the brakes and indicators on my coupe..... and now my car wont start..... its had no fuel in it for a few weeks.... the carbie wont draw fuel... already replaced spark plugs, spark plug leads, and dizzy cap, the firing order is right and the points are still sparking... is it a possibel fuel pump failure????

(running an A12 if it helps)

cheers shaun

Try putting a bit of fuel down the carby to get it goin. It'll probably be right once it gets the fuel back up to it.

Unless your fuel pump is stuffed

It's relatively easy to check the fuel pump. One way is to take the fuel line off from the output side of the pump and crank the starter to see if it pumps fuel. Make sure the fuel line is going into a container so it doesn't pump gas everywhere.

The other way is to pour a small amount of gas in the carb and see if she starts up.

Ha Ha beat ya Duncan

ive already put a bit of fuel down the carbie... so i think my fuel pump has #### itself lol.... anyone in brissy got a fuel pump for an A12 motor???

thanks for the help
shaun

did it start when you put fuel in the carb?

i started it without fuel in carbie... then i tried it with fuel in carbie

so car WILL start, and then runs out of fuel?
sorry I'm lost. Fuel pumps are cheap and plentiful, replace it anyway.

well..... the car will turn over... but it wont actually start. looked at the car.... and there is no fuel being pumped anywhere in the car..... tried puttin fuel in carbie.....so i think ill just needa get a new fuel pump...

anyone here got any fuel pumps for sale for an A12 ?
