Would it be possible to know what year BUS this is on??
And whether it has been converted from FI to Carb??
The carb should have a cylindrical part that fits in the throttle lever to clamp the cable. Perhaps the part has been lost.
E-mail me the carb # if the part is missing and I'll see what we can do.
The elec fuel pump was added later so you'll have to do some digging. Take a voltmeter and see if power is getting to the pump. If not, you'll have to trace it back to where it gets power.
The most common place to put it is under the tank. Look there first. Jim
Are you referring to the throttle plate or the choke plate (top)? If you follow the fuel line back from the carb, where does it go? Must be a pump back upstream there somewhere, ya think? Are you sure there is an
**electric** fuel pump?
Are you SURE you have an electric fuel pump?
