Pontiac Starchief

Recommended Posts

I just purchased a very nice 1954 Starchief. Fuel issues

there is no fuel in the reservoirs in the carburetor. It has a new fuel pump and fuel lines on it. The accelerator pump is pumping fuel. But no fuel is getting into the two reservoirs. Took it apart. Everything is clean and flows good cannot figure it out. Any suggestions?

Is there fuel in the tank? How old is it? First problem to solve, is there fuel in the tank and is it getting to the fuel pump? If the pump and lines are newly installed it may take a while to fill them.

 

What reservoirs are you talking about? Do you mean the float bowl?

 

Either you are not telling us everything or there is a blockage someplace. My guess is the first.
