Truck sat for 5+ years...trouble getting it to run...
Sat outside for 5+ years, got it home last summer. Replaced plugs and changed oil, threw some gas in the tank...it turned over, and built oil pressure (in-dash-gauge), would not fire.
Started digging in, found the Edelbrock 1405 was locked up. Messed with it for a few days, then decided to get a new one. Also got new fuel pump. Got both installed today. Again, truck turns over and builds oil pressure, but i'm not getting any fuel to the carb. Next step: I'm going to pull the fuel tank and check the lines from there to the pump. Other suggestions? Thanks, Daubs |

Dribble a bit of gas into the carb and see if it fires up.
If it does try to keep it running. Then you’ll know your ignition is working. |

fuel sock on pickup on sender can get all gummbed up and be plugged off .
i think your on the right track with the tank drop and check . but first as said try and run it off a dribble of gas or bypass the tank to a 1-2 gal can and see if it runs then you KNOW its in the tank or not . |
Re: Truck sat for 5+ years...trouble getting it to run...
Great suggestion. I by-passed the fuel tank to a 5 gallon can...pulled gas past the filter, filled the carb, and it ran! Idled a little high, but man, that carb did well right out of the box!
It's in the shop now. Next step, replacing master cylinder. Thanks!! |
