The other thing i'm working on is the fuel pump.
I have a carter 172gph but I'm wondering if the diaphragm has deteriorated since it sat for 5 years. I put the suction side in a gas tank and the discharge into a bucket and turned the engine over but got 0 flow.
It appeared there was some fuel in the pump but nothing came out the line.
disappointing
I'm going to connect the pump to the carb and fill the bowl, crank it and see if it makes 5psi.
if that doesn't work I'm going to get a 20$ stock pump and see if that one works.
They don't make the carter 172 pump anymore so I have no idea if i can get a rebuild for it.
any recs for a high flow pump?
