Dan: I suggest you check the valve in the line from the main tanks and
make certain that it is on. It is either on the floor by the passengers seat, or
forward on the side panel.
If the valve is on, I suggest removing the top of
the fuel pump (how long has it been since the annual inspection) and checking
the screen and pump area for corrosion/water.
If nothing is found there, check the inlet line
(this should be the line hooked to the rear of the pump) to make sure fuel comes
out of it.
If this is OK, then you will most likely have to
remove the pump. I heard of a pump breaking off one side of the pin that the
pump lever rides on. (this is the lever that rides on the camshaft and makes the
pump work) If this is broken, the lever moves too far sideways and the pump does
not pump fuel. You will probably find that the broken piece is inside the engine
and will have to be removed. If so, try to fish it out with a magnet, and if you
are lucky enough to get it out, look it over with a magnifying glass to make
certain that there are no marks on it. Worst case, if it is broken and has marks
or you cannot find it, you will have to tear down the engine.
