Mid 60s type 1 engine I'm talking about; Will the fuel pump pull fuel from just a regular plastic tank on the floor? I'm waiting on the new tank, and wanted to tune the carb while I wait. The other day I put the fuel line in my plastic gas tank used for transporting gas (made sure it wasn't stuck to the bottom) and turned the motor over for serveral seconds. The line coming off the fuel pump did not have any fuel in it, so it didn't appear that the pump was pulling in any fuel. Is there some sort of air lock issue using this method? Does the line have to have fuel in it first, and not just stuck in a tank where the pump has to pull it in from an area below itself? Thanks.
