Rabaey Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 My 1954 Buick Special is not getting gas, I’ve tried 2 different fully rebuilt OEM fuel pumps, all new gas line (no holes or kinks) carb rebuild, new fuel filter. The carb gets plenty of suction and will start no problems if gas is dumped in the carb. And it has a full tank of gas. Is there anything I’m over looking something I haven’t thought of?

nickelroadster Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Have you checked if either of your new fuel pumps is actually pumping gas? If not make sure that your gas line is not plugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabaey Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Somehow I completely forgot to check the line that goes to the carb, the one to the tank is all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I would suggest it could be either a bad fuel pickup tube in the fuel tank, or perhaps the line from the fuel pump to the carburetor. I once had a 1954 Buick Special with a small crack in the line between the fuel pump and the carburetor. It was difficult to find and caused a similar problem.

Rabaey Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 I thought it may be the pickup tube but it has a full tank of gas and it was working the day before, I will test the line tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
