Several nights of work and I'm getting stumped here guys. I'm gonna tray and describe my story a little better to see if any ideas come to mind, I found a Bronco sitting in a driveway and it was for sale. The guy told me that about a month ago he ran it out of gas and he didnt do anything to it, (got a 18 year old pregnate and so has no money and needs to get rid of truck) He said it ran awesome. I bought it based on that which was really dumb. But anyway, I bought the fuel pump and asked him to install it. I pull up with my trialer to hual it home and he was in the process of bleeding the fuel line. I wanted to get it home so I said I would do it. (another bad move) but anyway, I got her home and disconnected the fuel line and the "half way" point (a small peice of rubber house had been spliced in) I was getting no fuel. (tank is 1/4 btw too) I hooked up a electric fuel pump i had and was now sucking gas out of the tank from that "half way" point. I then removed the pump and was getting lots of gas through the line VIA gravity. I then connected the half way point and went up to the front where I disconnected the hose from the inlet side of the fuel pump. THe hose was crimping really easlisy against the vertice peice that comes from the tank. Got a longer hose and was now getting gas up front with me electric pump. Took the pump off, connected the line to the pump took air system off, sprayed a little walmart engine started and bam, started up good and ideled perfect. I was in the garage and fumes were killing me so I killed it and opened the garage up. Tried again...... Dead battery now (it was really low to began with so it made sense) I charged the battery the next day and went to start it and it would give a little pop when i had my foot on the floors and then let go. At one time i was pumping quickly and holding the engine barley alive. Dead battery again....... Next time I was getting nothing. Not even a pop. I am getting fuel all the way at the top of the carb. I take the line off the carb and tunr the engine over and had a buddy with me telling me it was flowing good up top. Fuel filter??? Not inline that I can see..... Is it one of those deals where the filter is in the carb where the hose goes? Electrical shut off of some kind? Anyways the start the process of finding out what???? Havnt owened a carb. car before. It has the 'adjusting" ford
2 rectangular holes on top of the carb. Is it posssible that i am not getting enough pressure? Maybe fuel is not getting in the carb when i hook the hose up? PLease ask questions if you have any. I am really reaching out here, thanks a ton for anyone who at least read this!
-Awaiting some advice Ben
