Yes, I did change both filters when I replaced the pump... Where is the FPCU under the dash, and how does it work?

336K on my 83 Brat.... I'll still be driving it as soon as I get the fuel pump issue worked out. Wish me luck.

First a little history: About two weeks ago, my 83 Brat died in Edmonds while I was on my way to go fishing. After many bad words, I finally had it towed to SubaruTex's place ( I live in Bremerton) and I began troubleshooting (Big thank you to Tex and his mom!) I tracked it down to what I believed to be a faulty fuel pump. I jetted down to the neighborhood Schucks, bought and installed a new pump and YAY GO ME! It ran just fine, until yesterday. It died on me again while I was on my way back from work. Luckily I managed to get it going again and made it home where I have not been able to start it again. Currently: There is no fuel in the front filter, and I can't hear the fuel pump kick on when I switch on the ignition.... What is there in line with the fuel pump electrically (I am leaning towards electrical problems) and how can I test it? Thanks in advance... It would be in Tex's garage again, but for now, it is parked at home in Bremerton, and I am driving the other car as a commuter. To top it all off, I can't take that one fishing! HELP PLEASE

Thnx... I'll try what you have suggested. I appreciate the tip. Micah

Here's what I hope will be a relatively straight forward question... I recently purchased an 83 BRAT for a daily driver, and as a more utilitarian vehicle than my "toy" car. I haven't dealt with carbs much, so I have a couple of small concerns. Since I purchased it, the BRAT has died unless I keep the RPMs up. I expect that sort of problem in the morning when I first start it, and I thought it would change after the weather warmed up a little. It hasn't... I tried adjusting the idle, and npw it just idles higher when it is working correctly, otherwise the RPMs fall until the engine dies. It isn't usually a big problem, but in traffic it can be awfully inconvenient. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could try to correct this problem? Micah :-\
