Question RX3/4 fule pump dont suck.

Is there any repair for these monsters? It runs to beat the band but dont suck or blow,this makes for a non operating engine unless I sit on the fender and pour gas into thr carb. I don't think that this is the reccomended way to go. Anyone with any good ideas on finessing one??? Bob fuel I know better

use a test light or VOM for juice going to the pump before buying a new pump.

unhook the fuel line to the tank the pump may be fine and it is a clogged line from your tank.My cosmo had plugged lines from rust and I had to send it out to get sandblasted and resealed but the pump was still fine

Question fuel pump

The pump is getting power and runs, the line from the tank is clear , can blow and hear bubbles. It just wont prime, and if I prime it it wont hold. ??

ok since your line and tank are clear you got off cheap. just get a replacement pump(first gen rx-7 or carter would be my choice) and you should be good to go
