Rusty, my vehicle is a 94. My fuel pump control unit is situated in the bottom of d/s kick panel. The timer for running the fuel pump whilst the oil pressure rises is defective on mine, due to moisture ingress (it is only a problem if I've drained the carby. ) If your pump is not running, and the fuses are not blown, it may just be the control unit playing up due to moisture or vibration damage, etc.Originally Posted by Rustyboner81

I got no petrol running at the moment.. ive had the fuel pump out and it has no power to it. Checked all the fuses i can find theyre all good.
So im assuming that its the fuel stop soliniod cutting the power to the pump.
Only thing is i dont know where it is.....
And the other thing is i get very bad fuel economy, you mentioned you did carby work. Did it improve fuel consumption?
Im not blowing any smoke at all so im pretty sure all the fuel is being burnt
Apart from that im
The fuel cut out solenoid is situated on the carby, ( some one please correct me if I'm wrong). The second stage of the carby was sticking at any position and at random times, and it caused the engine to be an absolute dog. I fixed that by using wet 'n' dry on the butterfly and the carby bore to free it up. The auto choke was playing up so I replaced it with a manual one. As for fuel economy, I got the auto advance diaphragm on the distributor reconditioned.(through Bursons in Warnambool). I used a converted bicycle pump to check it (gently) and found the diaphragm had a small hole in it. After it was fixed, That made my economy to around 15 .64 lt/ 100k at 90 -95 ks an hour( if I calculated it correctly. I'm no mathematician)
