DeTomaso Mailing List: January 00, Message #82

All,

Tried to start the Kitty after 3 months of inactivity, and I'm
not getting any fuel to the carb.  Check the lines and they are
clear (and yes, I do have gas!).  When I disconnect the gas line
to the carb. I can feel the pump pumping, but it feels "weak".
If I put my finger over the inlet side to the pump, should it feel
likes its going to suck my finger in, or is it just a mild suction?

My initial hypothesis is that the diaphragm has a small tear, though
I could not see anything obvious when I disassembled the pump.

Thanks in advance,

Shane Ingate in San Diego (for the holidays)
