Hi all as I'm getting near to my winter resto being completed I put the battery on to check through the electrics then tried for a start, nothing, cranked fine but no sign of trying to start.
Took out a plug, nice and dry so took out a primary float bowl screw and just a dribble of fuel, filled the float bowl through the vent and she started up fine and kept running so pump is now working, have started several times now over the last few days and no problems.
I suppose truck had stood for about 4-5 months while I've been busy on the bodywork.
Does this sound like imminent pump failure or just normal after standing so long?
If I should be looking for a new pump are all 350 pumps the same? Reason I ask is I don't know what year the engine is, it's a 383 stroker with centre bolt valve covers, no visible engine number so guess it's a crate motor, also its all painted black if that means anything!
Thanks
Graham
