Ok I have a 1980 rx7 it used to be supercharged but I jacked it up so now im just returning it to n/a but my problem is i cannot get fuel to the carburetor. the battery is fully charged everything is connected right, when i turn the key to the on position i can hear the fuel pump spin but no fuel i changed the fuel filter thinking it was clogged but still no fuel so can anyone help me out? o ya its not the stock fuel pump and its located in the engine bay and not by the gas tank and since i mess up my sc its been sitting for about 6 months

thx

 

have you ever tried pulling the line off the ouput end of the pump and checking it?

Is the flow going the correct way? Is it a self priming pump? If not, thats a long pull for a pump, theyre supposed to be gravity fed if theyre non self priming.

yes its self priming and the flow is going the right way. and its a mr gasket co 42s fuel pump if that helps.

 

the fuel pump should be as close to the tank as possible. long fuel draws can cause problems, been there. locate as close to the tank as possible.

 

thats what im thinkin it is and thats what im gonna do when i get my mallory fuel pump in a few days. i took off the fuel pump and ran it just by itself with no lines attached. im not an expert when it comes to fuel pumps and dont know what 2-3.5 psi should feel like but it felt pretty weak when i felt the air being sucked in and blown out. and is there any thing else this could be like a problem in the fuel tank?
