Topic: Fuel Pump woes
in Forum: C3 Fuel, Emission Control, and Exhaust Systems
Hey all,
Just returned from a deployment to South America, I hated missing the gathering but duty calls.
Anyway, jumped into the Vette for a ride and could not get it to run worth a crap at high rpm. I think it is the fuel system. I plan on ordering a mechanical fuel pump that has a 6-8 psi rateing and 110 GPH flow rate from Summit.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

If it's been laid up for some time you may just need a carb kit. The gaskets dry up after a while and let air in all the wrong places. you may also have crap fuel after a long time of inaction.
Or maybe even as simple as a vacuum hose split somewhere. Although this would tend to show up at lower revs.
I was only gone few weeks. I replaced all my filters first, carb is fairly new. I will recheck my vacume.
Thanks,
