I hope someone can help me here.
I have a 1977 Dodge 440 engine in my King's Highway RV. The engine has an Edelbrock Venus carburetor. One morning it would not start. Here are some things I have done.
1. changed the fuel pump at the urging of Edelbrock as they said the pressure at the carb needs to be 5.5-6.5 and i was only getting 3.5-4. a new Edelbrock fuel pump did not change anything.
2. pressure at the carb is around 4 psi.
3. i removed the fuel line at the carb and plenty of gas is flowing.
4. if i pour some gas into the carb it start immediately and runs for a few secs.
5. when i pump the gas peddle i do not smell gas nor do i see any shooting into the carb. the mechanical arm that pushes on the small rod to the carb pump is working.
6. i have change my inline canister filter and the small filter into the carb.
7. plenty of gas in both tanks. switch over value is working ok as measured by the flow of gas at the carb. (see #3)
any tips, hints, suggestions for me. the frustration is setting in.
thanks, ray |
