Joe koch Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 hey fellow studebaker lovers, has anyone ever run into this. i'm attempting to get this rockne running for the first time in 25 years. i can manually pump fuel into the carb, and it will run for a short time. i pulled the pump off, and ran a line into a gas can. i was able to fill the bowl by pumping the fuel pump. but back on the vehicle, i get no fuel flow. really excited to hear it run for even a few seconds, but something still wrong. was thinking about an electric fuel pump. anyone out there have any experience with these or any other ideas? you guys are always great, and i do thank you for any feedback. joe koch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Is the pump run off a cam lobe? Could the cam be faulty? Is the pump arm correct? just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe koch Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yes the pump does run off the cam lobe the lobe is there and intact could it be overly warn maybe the arm appears to be correct it is making contact with the lobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 There may be some way to measure the total pump action with a dial indicator on the block approximating the length of the pump arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVID BABCOCK Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 IF IT IS THE RIGHT PUMP, THE LEVER SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHT. NO BENDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John DePrey Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 pinhole(s) in the fuel line from tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Could the pump be installed with the arm on the wrong side of the lobe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe koch Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Sorry for the delay to mount the pump i must depress the arm a bit so I do know it’s on the correct side of the cam but thanks studeboy all new fuel line I know I’m good there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
