Hey i just bought a carter fuel pump. I followed the https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-arch...ey-fpr-529605/

thread and im getting no fuel out of the fuel lines. I have a 1/4 tank of gas. I turn the key to the on position and the pump hums and the fuel filter looks like its more than 3/4 empty. Is there anything im missing? the car was also running before i installed this pump. I also deleted the fuel check cut valve. any suggestions would be helpful thanks!

 

Hoses on the pump hooked up backwards maybe?

 

Maybe the input hose is on the vent line on the tank instead of the pickup line? I bet its something simple.

Recheck your work and verify everything. You could disconnect the line at the filter and try top suck some gas out and see if you get some. Of course be careful you don't swallow a bunch of fuel

 

Ya, premium tastes horrible, i don't wanna imagine what 87 tastes like lol

Quaker state oil has a kind of fruity taste

 

my power and ground wires were switched! weird it made a humming sound!

 

Its a DC motor, it will still work, but backwords, hence why you heard it hum, except it was pushing fuel the wrong way

 

It was pumping fuel from the carburetor back to the tank lol.

 

Now THATS gas mileage
