    1929 Commander fuel line/pump problem

    in Studebaker, Erskine & Rockne

    Posted · Edited by 1927Chevy (see edit history)

    Also, stupid me my 27 Touring car came with electric fuel pump (backup switch under dash for priming) and vacuum tank, right after I got it I parked it in garage shut it off and inadvertently hit the backup switch and it came on  and i did not know it was on. I drove off in my other car and came back only to find gas all over the floor as the pump pressure exceeded the pressure the carb was made for and what a dangerous mess, I do not like the electric pumps period.

    I have always just used stock equipment.  i stay away from electric fuel pumps as they tend to have to much pressure, are you using a regulator also.  i would forget the electric fuel pump and go with original equipment.  my 1927 Chevrolet both have factory vacuum tanks as well as my 1923 Studebaker big six.  love those vacuum tanks!!  my 1953 Packard uses an oem fuel pump.  sometime i have to prime them after sitting all winter but sometimes not.  i would forget the electric version.

    Thanks !! Have asked for a pic of inside with focus on condition of first gear and advice that the gears have all their teeth. Already have 2 with bad 1st gears.  in the meantime will drive it occasionally starting in second gear.  As somone already mentioned 1st gear is kinda for pulling tree stumps.  A machine shop in Chicago told me they are ready to make it,  just gotta get over there.  Got my 20 ton press delivered last week and should get a large bearing splitter clamp for press plates Monday.  At that point and after dropping some branches on some trees in the yard will take the cluster gear apart.  Who knows might get this trans and rebuild the other for fun. 

    wishing and hoping
