So I've got a '62 Scout 80, stock 152 with a a Weber 32/36 carb. I know I replaced the fuel pump when I got it 5 or 6 years ago. Went to drive it last week and the fuel pump that's on it is spitting fuel out of the weep holes. I go to Oreilly's and get a new pump. Replace it and can't get it to pump fuel. I notice the new pump arm seems to have more throw than the old one it's replacing. I order a carter pump and replace it again. I for the life of me can't get either of them to pump fuel. I swear I've put it in correctly, I can suck fuel through the pump up to the carb. Scout runs fine if put fuel in the carb bowls.
What am I doing wrong? I turned the engine over with my finger in the hole ( ) and can feel the eccentric turning when cranking. Its getting close to be burned to the ground but I know I've done something stupid. I did this once before with no issues.
