How to get fuel to flow from tank to engine
Asked by lukebarfieldAnswer
most likely is the fuel pump has failed. check fuel pressure first.

it should be about 7 lbs. there should be about 2 to 3 lbs of vacuum at the pump. make sure the hoses are not cracked or broken

i can't get fuel to the pump, gravity feeds the fuel from tank to the engine, right? I didn't think there is a pump inside the tank.
the pump is on the motor. there is an inlet hose, hose to the carb and if you have ac, a return line to the tank.
