hey guys
any body got a air compresor thats maybe free tomorow
during the day ?
any time before 2:30 wouled be great..

i think i got shit stuck in my fuel lines thats why my cars not starting
and i need some one with a air compresor to come past and
blow some air down the fuel line..

iv changed my fuel filter and fuel pump and still no fuel
getting to the carby...

the cars in Brooklyn Victoria at my sis house...

[Built4thrashing]

You change the filter at the tank yeh? there is a strainer at the carby that could block up. Are you sure its not pumping?

[salih]

iv changed the filter yes..

im shure it must be clocked up some where just need to get air into the lines
i might have some thing figured out for tomorow so il keep ya up dated if it works or not lol

Have you taken the fuel hose off the carby and turn the engine over, and no fuel comes out of the hose?

[salih]

steve the fuel filter isent even filling up with fuel so no way its going to get to the carby..

i tryed blowing the fuel line today about 2kgs worth of shit came out the other side.
so i put fuel into the carby and .......................
it still dosent run
starts but dosent run... as soon as the fuel in the carby runs out it stops
fuel filter still isent filling up with fuel !

going to try other stuff tomorow morning....
any sierra experts want to cum past ??? lol

[whincup]

just to ask the obvious stuff... are the lines done up the right way around? as in, main line and return line not backwards?... other thing would be that little metal rod that pushes the fuel pump, was that still there?

[salih]

the im shure the cam thingy was still there
also all the lines are the right way i havent moved any of them around at all

im going to have a look at it tonight with a mate
if i cant find the prob il just tow it to a near by machanic and let them figure it out...

i just cant wait to bloddy drive my car again miss it so much !

Test the fuel pump. Put a length of new hose into a fuel source and connect to the inlet of your fuel pump. If it runs than you have a problem with your fuel lines, pick up, etc. If it doesn't you have a problem with your fuel pump.

[salih]

the fuel pump is brand new got it like 3 days ago...

Tank breather could be blocked, not allowing air in, so fuel can't get out.
Carbon canister is part of breather system, and can stuff things up.
That can be checked by running without fuel cap.

Or a fuel line could be flattened, by a rock, log or suspension.

The fuel pick up in tank can be blocked by the huge dents in most Sierra tanks.

New fuel pumps sometimes need priming.
I suck on fuel hose, but thats a little unsafe.
Some people blow into fuel filler.

A jar of fuel with the pick up fuel line dunked in it,
will tell you were problem lies.

New don't always mean working proper,
so don't rule out the new pump
