Re: 1960 GMC Suburban

It is weird, we even bypassed the whole line with short line to a bottle with gas in it.

I did run into a friend that has a restoration repair shop and he told me that he has had up to 5 failures in a row on new manual pumps. And he buys top end pumps. He said that he finds very small shavings and particles in the pumps that can affect the valves inside. So he buys a pump and immediately takes it apart and cleans it.

That will probably be my next move followed by an electric pump that flows through the mechanical so it at at least looks original.
