fuel pump again

[revhead]

Main filter in the pump housing would have been a lot of your original problem , the bottom coarse strainer just keeps out the lumps big enough to stop the pump

i fill the filter with fuel and shake the shit out of it, and blow through backward only with a reduced pressure on the compressor
5 or 6 times is not unusual

this is a waste of time,not meaning to be rude ,i got sick of taking my tank off to do this ,it makes a lot more sense to gut the filter add a new tea bag filter to the bottom of the pump and fit an external for what its worth and the trouble you save its worth the $50 n work
