Here's another little problem that I am wondering about. My CJ has a glass fuel filter in it so I can see the fuel before it goes into the carb. Last year, I do not remember having any trouble starting the engine due to lack of fuel. Recently, the fuel drains back to the fuel pump and it takes quite a bit of cranking to get the fuel back into the carb so that it will start. Today, I replaced the fuel pump, drove around a while, and parked it in the garage. I went out a little while later and the filter was empty again. It has a 1976 AMC 360 with the mechanical fuel pump. I'll probably replace the mechanical fuel pump with an electronic one eventually. I'm just hoping that I'll not have to replace the starter due to this problem. Kind of a pain to keep lifting the hood to pour gasoline in the carb to start it after it sits overnight.
