A bit more information:

 

IF YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL CARB: it should be the Chrysler-designed BBR series identification D6A2.

 

MAXIMUM fuel pressure 3 1/2 psi (3 would be better).

 

Better yet would be to replace the carb with the Carter-designed W-1 574s used by Plymouth for a short time in 1947 when the plant producing the BBR carbs went on strike.

where can i find Carter-designed W-1 574s ?

and does one look like? can I use the same linkage ?

thanks

I am using an original replacement  fuel pump 

The carb. its still on the car 

I think I should send it out for repairs but who can do the right job?

as for the fuel pump I guess I will have to see if it is sending to much pressure .and if it is now what do you do ?

The stock fuel inlet needle valve has a pointy tip. This tip points away from the carb bowl. Tip points in towards fuel line coming from the fuel pump. The other end if it is flat. It contacts the tab on the float inside the carb bowl. 

are you correct? the carb is leaking like the ocean

The meter instructions will show you how to test the fuel pressure.  A quick explanation is the vacuum tester hose has a fitting with it that attaches to the fuel pump line that goes to the to the carburetor.  My first guess is the needle and seat setup for the carb float bowl is malfunctioning.

what way does the needle  go does the needle point go to the fuel pump the the bigger part go to the carb?

some one told me the needle goes that way and the thicker end goes to the carb?

An auto supply store near you may have a vacuum gage / fuel pressure meter for sale on its tools side of the business.  The meter is not very expensive and would be useful to own as you learn about how old cars work.

ok. but how do I go about testing it ?

and if it is to fast how do I so it down?

 1941plymouth 6 cyl. flathead

I replaced the fuel pump it bringing gas to the carb but in a few minutes the carb. starts to leak and it floods  out the motor.

I had someone before this started  try to fix another problem in that when I exceed over 2500 3000 RPM S the car would choke and want to stall 

so he thought he had it fixed only to find out now I have 2 problems the leak and the choke after 2500 RPMS

does anyone have a good carb. repair man ?  I an even can send it to

or is it the Carb ? or the fuel pump ?

So, Take the line that comes from the tank to the fuel pump off of the fuel pump. It may leak (especially if the tank is full) so you might want a pan handy.

 

Then make a hose that will go into the fuel pump where you removed the tank line. Hook that into where you removed the tank supply line.

 

Put the other end of your made up hose into a fuel supply.  Be sure to use a bottle or the likes that will not tip over. And be sure that the loose end is submerged in fuel in this container.

 

Now you have an alternative fuel supply that if the car runs you will know that the problem is towards the tank.

If the pump is still not pumping the problem is most likely your fuel pump or maybe a filter if there is one inline.

 

Are you sure that the car is choking and not starving? 

If it feels like its losing power and kinda gets better if you back off a little it may be starving for fuel.

 

 

I really want to thank you But i have tried to locate the line from the gas to the fuel no luck

someone told me to empty the fuel glass bowl place it back onto the fuel pump car and crank the  car if it fills , its the pump if not its the gas or line ?

is this correct

I am a one and only person who knows very little  and can not do this myself 

does anyone know a person who can come and help me with pay

 to see if its the pump and to see the coil is firing and why the car or the motor chokes at high rpm 

I live in Pittsburgh pa  ( upper St. Clair )

[Why did my 1941 plymouth P-12 burn my coil wire]

Sorry I do not understand  this ?

if I take the hose from the pump and place it in a can of gas  if the pump is sucking it where is the gas going ?

[Why did my 1941 plymouth P-12 burn my coil wire]

Ben

I do not understand

if I take the hose off the  fuel pump the suction hose  and place another hose on it  then place the hose in a gas can there is nothing going to the carb ?

[who has the better fuel pumps for 1941 Plymouths P-12 6 cyl. ?]

I have gone through 3 pumps in a yr. oil leaking,crack, &  pump not working

 

who also does great carb restoration ?

[1941 Plymouth fuel line ,Carb,]

thank you

I have the point going to the bowl ?

so its the other way ?

 

[Why did my 1941 plymouth P-12 burn my coil wire]

I think it is the new fuel pump that stop working .if i place gas in the carb. it will start to run as soon as the gas is gone it stops running 

this is a new fuel pump ?

i also disconnected the line from the carb to the pump  no gas coming  through the line when trying to start it 

is this a bad pump ?

or what else can it bed

thanks everyone

[1941 Plymouth fuel line ,Carb,]

The . fuel line to the carb. picture shown I took apart to see if fuel was flowing  when I took it apart there was what  look like a jet 

does the jet  end of it look like a needle go into the carb or into the line ? or the  larger other end  part go to the line or carb.

I placed the nipple end into the carb ?

Why did my 1941 Plymouth P-12 6 volt flathead  burn my coil wire 

from the coil to  the distributor 

I have not checked the distributor 

 

I was going for a ride when all of a sudden the motor was chocking and it just shut down 

will not start. checked the coil wire and the end  looks like it is gone
