the question is....... Did I reattach the hoses to the secondary fuel fileters incorrectely? I just need verbal...written...or a picture of instructions as to what fuel hose goes where to the secondary filters.
I bought a truck and it was delievered, while awiating Florida state to come up with the tag. This truck ALWAYS started on the first crank and did so many many times while I moved it about the yard thinkin of when I could put Her on the road.
SO being the idiot I decided to change the lube oil and met NO problems. Piece of cake and no leaks....gave myself an attaboy.
I bought a new brake pressure switch for the stoplights and rigged everything proper so repeated brake bleeds would be NO problem.
She started and ran every time.
While waiting for the brake light switch I decided to change out the fuel filters. The gaskets supplied gave the dilema of there was no way any one anywhere could fit in the secondary gaskets with the casting in place so I removed it and cleaned everything and made a perfect fit and replaced the cans and then the entire setup. It was 94 in the shade but She is in the SUN.
Before the secondary filter changeout was the last time She ran.
I determined that the fuel system was so tight, that She would run (before I messed with anything) without a functioning lift pump in the tank but as soon as I drained the filters and renewed them I killed Her. Sans suction pressure, no distolic so to speak.
So... now I find that the normal everyday run of the mill, [yeah they made millions of them], intank fuel pump 585 is no longer available.
OK, So I order up a reasonable replacement from a Bradley which will fit and I designed a bypass for and got the new correct hose and etc. and etc.
So today I pressurized the fuel tank {portable 12VDC car tire pump} after plugging up everything but the goeoutah line and and got good flow thru all the filters vents and drains. I got liquid fuel without bubbles out of the secondary vent with no bubbles.
OK
She won't start
Did the idiot cross the lines at the inlet side of the secondary filters?
Would somebody Please send to me a picture of what the forward side of the secondary filters where the two lines are attached and help me trace back to where they are supoosed to go!?
The General wants pictures or else I am useless.
So I try to do that now ...............................................................
So I search everywhere to NOT find the answer to the predicament.
Gettin anxious here with no time to check spelling.
