Hello ...

I really thought that frankenstein (my 86 Transporter) had thrown
everything possible at me.    This afternoon I started it up to move it
across the yard.   It got about 20 yards then stoped dead and refused to
restart.    Total nothing.  Spark, but for some reason no fuel coming out
of the pump.    I took a syringe and manually primed the carb reconnected
the fuel line and it restarted.  I reved it up (confidently expecting it to
die) it was fine. Idled perfectly ...  wierd.    It had been standing for
two days before this incident.

Question is .. should I replace the fuel pump ?
