Electric Fuel Pump?

Just tried it again and got nothing. I took the fuel line apart where it goes into the filter and had my daughter crank the engine while I held a dish to catch any fuel. The fuel guage shows I have a quarter tank. It would be a little old (last year) but right now I'm not getting anything to the carb.

I'll check the oil level and smell it for fuel.

Checked the oil and it is good to go. No fuel leaking into the crankcase. I also put 2.5 gallons into the tank to bring the level up a little. Still no start and don't seem to be getting fuel.

Make sure the return port is lined up at the top (12 o'clock position).  Otherwise the fuel enters the filter and goes right back to the tank.  Good luck.

What kind of pump do the Eagles have on them stock? I don't seem to be getting fuel to the carb after the swap. I pump the pedal while cranking and even hold the throttle wide open while cranking and get nothing.

I replaced my fuel pump years ago in order to fix a fuel line pressure issue. Old pump was an Airtex. Current one is Carter. Both mechanical.

You could try a gas can and a rubber hose to the inlet of pump to make sure that the problem is not the lines. It should easily pull some gas out after a couple of cranks.

I was able to get it going finally. I had to get a new battery so I could crank the engine long enough for the pump to start drawing fuel from the tank. I also put a little fuel in the carb so it would start.
