TWO BARREL CARBURETOR AND FUEL SYSTEM
Components
Fuel Pump and Hoses: The fuel pump is a pulse diaphragm style pump, located on the #1 cylinder shroud. The
pulse line connects to the intake manifold above the #1 cylinder head. The change in vacuum at the #1 cylinder
intake pulses the diaphragm of the fuel pump. The vacuum supplied is a pulse, less than two psi, not a constant
vacuum that is measurable.
Fuel Filter: The fuel lter is in-line, located between the fuel tank and the fuel pump. The fuel lter has a clear
design for visibility of any potential debris or moisture. If contaminants are observed, replace the lter.
Fuel Supply and Vent Hoses: A low permeation fuel hose must be installed to maintain EPA and CARB
compliance. The fuel tank vent hose connects to the air lter manifold.
Fuel Pump Test
1. Inspection (Figure 2)
- Remove pulse line and inspect for fuel. Pulse line should not contain liquid fuel at fuel pump. Replace fuel
pump if found.
- Inspect fuel pump vent for debris blockage. Replace fuel pump if blocked.
2. Connect hand pressure tester to either inlet or outlet tting of fuel pump; block other tting.
3. Apply pressure, up to 5 psi
- Pressure should not drop.
- If pressure drops, spray soapy water mix on fuel pump to determine where air is leaking.
4. Replace fuel pump if testing failed, as it is not serviceable.
NOTE: Pulse port and vent are not pressure tested.
