    454 Fuel pump Q?? Empty 454 Fuel pump Q??

    Post by savage Wed Jun 15, 2011 2:54 pm

    Got the 454 in the 65 turning over & it stared to run,(YA HOO)then I saw gas flowing out the top of carb(Not good)?? The fuel pump on its got 3 lines , 2,3/8 & 1,5/16.
    I thought the small one was a return to the tank?? I'm running it off a gas can ,so i put the small line in gas can.
    Tryed it again, same problem?? Stuck float, getting to much fuel pressure ?? something to do with the small line??
    The motor is a 1977 if that makes any diff??
    It Really wants to run(so do I) and not go up in flames (Sorry to hear about your fire Dennis) Sad
    Any help would be great. Thank's . Off to take top off carb(Q jet)
