Default Fuel pump quit.

I went for a drive this evening only to have to call for a tow home. The car had been giving symtoms of fuel problems lately and tonight it gave out. I was only a mile from home when it broke down completely. No gas to the carb. I towed it home and pulled the fuel pump off so I can put a new one on tomorrow. It was less than 2 years old. :mad At least I wasn't on a road trip :) . Thanks to a guy named Gill who stoped to see if I needed any help. He said he has a C-5 but he was driving his pickup at the time. :cool: Sholud be back on the road by noon. :steering:

Well the new pump went on easy enough but the weather looks like rain. Guess I will go for a ride anyway. It has seen rain before and will again. :auto:

You must be a magician, I replaced a few and it is no fun working that close the frame. Although I did not know the that there was that extra hole in the block to pin the rod up when working on it, makes things much easier not having to deal with that push rod. :cheers:
