I will be getting my Deuce soon from frankfort , its about 65 miles from home.
I think the fuel pump in the tank is bad becouse It wont start unless you use starter fluid but when it starts it seems to run fine (I havent drove it but it idles fine and moves forward and backwards fine) I let it run for about a hour. After the air pumps up and you shut it down and turn the accessorie switch back on you can not hear the fuel pump at all. But it will start back up so I figure the fuel lines are primed. But I THINK that after it sits awhile it will need starter fluid to start it up.
THE QUESTION IS.
Do you think the tank fuel pump is the problem?
If so can I drive it home (65 miles) without the tank fuel pump working after started with starter fluid?
I know very little about these trucks and only asume the tank pump isnt working due to it not starting at first with out starter fluid and not being able to hear the pump with the accessorie switch on and air tanks full without the truck running . Should i be hearing the pump??
