Hello Group,
yesterday while driving my 712 it would not start up again as usual. When disconnecting the fuel line to the carbs, fuel would only squirt out sporadically. Fuel filter was clean and easy to blow through, same as line to the tank. When we disassembled fuel pump it would squirt fuel well when we activated its lever. Not finding a solution in the field we gravity fed the carbs, and, law and behold, the fuel pump began squirting fuel like crazy (it had been reconnected to the tank, but not to the carbs). Reconnected the pump to carbs, all seemed fine at that point and truck behaved nicely. However, next time I killed the motor it did again have problems starting up. Seems that at low RPM the pump is not squirting enough fuel, but, contrary to expectations, the motor idles well and does not die during idling. I am hoping to go in-country on saturday, and would appreciate any suggestions. Am taking an electric fuel pump with me just in case.
Thanks for your input in advance.
Fuel pump problems
Thilo at T-Lo's Ultimate Offroad http://www.mogsrus.com/ may have some kits. He has rebuilt fuel pumps for me and does an excellent job.
