I've got an old 70's Ford tandem axle truck and its always started easy as a car.
But its been sitting a year or so - and I can't get it to fire now. I have a good hot battery on it - and it spins easy, with good spark
everywhere, but seems to not have any gas at the carb. I pressured the gas tank slightly to push gas up to the carb ferrule and then we
tightened the line back up on the carb - hoping it might just need priming, but that didn't seem to help.
Do those fuel pumps tend to fail often? Can they "lose prime" or do they typically just need replacing? Or am I missing something
else??
Thanks for any advice,
Howard
