Have posted on this topic b4, but need some final advice please.
My pinto engined kit car seems to lose all fuel from carb after standing for a week or two, and needs a lot of cranking to get fuel through for starting.Have tried non return valves and things - but to no avail. Following advice from last postings, I have got hold of an electric pump, and tried it "in series" with the mechanical pump (both sides tried - I.E.- b4 mech pump and after) but mech pump cannot suck / blow through elec pump when it is switched off. I don't want the elec pump running all the time - just a short burst to prime the carb as in the circumstances above.
So.I am considering fitting it "in parallel" with the mech pump. Thought I would use "T" pieces or "Y" pieces in the fuel lines, either side of mech pump.
Does NE1 foresee any problems with such an arrangement? Also, does NE1 know where I can get suitable "T or Y" couplings - or should I make up them myself (have a small lathe and lots of bits of ali /brass rod /tube)
Any comments appreciated, especially helpful ones ! :)
