Hi everyone,
My 1980 Westy won't start.
Chronology:
A few weeks ago, it was running just fine, though we rarely drive it anymore. I started it up to move it and noticed a fuel leak in the long line between the pump and the injector rail. Replaced that line, she started fine. A few days later I went out, cranked it, and nothing. I noticed the line had come lose from the fitting, but no gas had spilled. I reattached the line. Since then it hasn't started once.
The tank was low on gas, so I put about 7 gallons in there. I've tried jumping the two contacts on the air flow meter harness to get the pump to run without the engine, and it sounds good, like a fuel pump pumping fuel. I can smell fuel when I do that too. But still, the engine won't catch.
Nothing has changed on the van except that one fuel line, and it's been running just fine for years. Spark is fine, haven't touched the timing, points, etc..
I know the injection on these needs to be pressurized, and it sounds like it's not, but how can I repressurize the system?
Any suggestions are very appreciated.
