DaveT Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Before doing anything that involved, I'd tee in a fuel pressure gauge in the line to the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned P Pritchard Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Okay then what and where to get guage and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Auto parts stores have fuel pressure test gauges. The one I have also can test vacuum. A brass T that matches the hose ID, some clamps and a piece of fuel line. Carb fuel pressure should be single digit number of psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Remove tank cap, blow compressed air from pump line (but not through pump) back to tank, clean out what you can via the fuel gauge sender unit hole. Can do same for fuel line from engine bay back to the pump, but again, not through the pump or the filters. This should give you a clear line to work with, or show up where the blockage might be located. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The other thing to check is that the fuel cutout relay is working properly. It could be priming with ignition on but cutting the pump while the engine runs because it’s not getting the signal to say the engine is running - or the relay box thing is dead. Common on the Brat era vehicles, don’t think it’s common on the L series. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Step-a-toe Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 hmmm, what Bennie says above. I started the metal pipe only blow backwards process at the front and worked my way to the empty tank. I used an old fire extinguisher to transport the compressed air from petrol station to home. It was only on the final section from fuel pump to tank that I heard, then found the rusty crud that was lining the inside of the metal line. EA81 tanks are easier to see this as their sender unit are mounted on the back side. I had it out to see a pristine clean , empty tank, until the blow back landed. I dragged it out by wire and rag tool. EA82 won't be as easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
