ok this is the problem i was driving my car and ran out of gas now keep in mind i have a 45dcoe weber on my 79 12a now the problem is me and my friend push started the car and it ran for like a minute and when it ran it ran like **** and then died and i bought new plugs so can anyone help me please

 

did you put more gas in it? just kidding, im not an expert on this stuff. Could it be the carb?

 

Why did you puch start it? Was the battery dead? If so, maybe the fuel pump isnt working right? I ran my Weber outta gas twice now (dont ask) and Ive never had any problems with it after it happening.

you may need to primer the fuel pump depending on how fricken out of gas you got. hahaha

 

what do u mean primer the fuel pump

 

Disconnect the fuel line going to the weber. have someone turn the key to the on position. The fuel pump should start pumping and after 30 or so seconds you should see fuel coming out of the fuel line. If it does then you might have to take the top screw off. if fuel does not come out then the fuel pump could be clugged or the fuel filter on the rear of the car might have been plugged with garbish from the fuel tank. The one that houses the fuel filter on the weber to see if that is clugged. Do you have a fuel pressure regulator? if so what fuel pressue are you supplying.....


If the care is flodded. you will need new plugs to start the car....

 

Clugged and garbish. More cool words on the forum. Hey innitab, what was it that that one guy typed on the forum? Oh yeah, he said he rexed it up. Sounds good to me, as does the advice in this thread. I had to swap fuel pumps recently myself.
