Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

This thread pretty much gave you the road map for figuring out what is wrong.

Go back and review and test the system from your plastic tank to the carb, opening each fitting in sequence: line from tank to pump, pump outlet, fuel line to carb. Also make sure that the carb bowl is primed, if is has been sitting for a while without running the gas has evaporated out the vent, saves time and battery and starter life not having to grind away while the pump fills the float bowl.
