Solved the problem of air in the fuel line.
It ended up being the fuel pump. This surprised me seeing that the pump was only 2 years old. As I stated before I placed a clear section of tubing between the fuel filter output and the injector pump and cranked her over and there was air in the...
Hi
Well I hooked up a clear line from the input on the fuel pump to the line coming from the fuel tank. Had the wife crank her over for about 30 sec. with no air showing up in the line.
So the problem I think has to be between the fuel pump output and the input to the fuel filter. I cant...

How would I check the line from the pump to the tank for air?
If the fuel pump diaphragm was bad would it just not pump fuel? Could it be something with the vent line on the pump?

Hi
I did the fuel into the jar and it looked like I was getting air in the fuel. To make sure I added a two foot section of clear hose from the pump to the fuel filter and turned her over. It shows a lot of air in with the fuel. I took the fuel tank cap of and still the same. I'm not real...

Hi
Ok, I checked the air filter and it was fine. I Unhooked both the input and output on the fuel filter lines and fuel is coming out real good. I unhooked one of the injector lines at the cylinder and fuel does weep out of the line. I just don't know how much should be coming out.
Any thoughts...
Hi
I posted this problem before and the responses didn't help. Still thanks for the help. Anyway I unhooked the fuel line coming out of the fuel filter and fuel is coming out. One question I have is should it be a steady stream or a pulsing one? Also someone said to check the automatic fuel...
