I know a few of you guys have been there and done that. I haven't had to, yet. How do you do it using a vacuum gauge?
I'm starting to think about my WC now and think, perhaps, that it might have too much pressure coming out of the pump. The fuel pump is basically the same as the jeep's, so this could be useful knowledge to all.
Who wants to explain the procedure?

Not a problem BoBo!  This is a common vacuum / fuel pressure test gauge. Notice it has two scales. Zero is in the middle, the needle swings CCW for vacuum (in of Mercury) and swings CW for pressure (PSI). To test fuel pump pressure, unhook fuel line at carburetor, slip and secure guage hose over the fuel line. Start engine and note gauge reading. The engine should idle for a few minutes on gas that is in the float bowl. Ezzzy peezy....  |

Ezzzzy peazy if you can get your vehicle to idle! Bwahahaha! And now we all know why I went a-chasin' that damned spark today! Lol! I should've played golf on my day off. I kind of thought this was the process, but I thought I'd see what happens by just turning the starter over with my vacuum connected. Ummmmm....fuel pressure just continues to increase if one isn't idling.  Thanks, Gary! (Again) |
