The truck has no tires or gas tank(rules for selling cars). Once it got the truck home I figured I'd see if it ran. Put some gas in the carb and a battery and it fired right up ran a few seconds then died. I tried putting the fuel lines in a bottle of gas but it won't prime. I noticed on my other truck the tank has some black boxes or somthing on the top(I guess vacuum or somthing) is this why the truck won't prmie thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> 88 montero 3'' body lift, torsion crank, shackles, 32'' tires 200,00 miles and going Re: bought a junk truck need fuel pump help [Re: barlown] #939066 04/06/09 05:51 PM Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 567 Brookville, Indiana K_Raider Rock Warrior Could be a bad fuel pump. Might be why it was at the scrap yard. I would put the hoses in a bottle of gas then pour some gas into the carb. The pump will pump faster if the truck is running and might prime it. 88 Raider- sitting on a full size Chevy frame with 35.5x11.50x16 Dyna Torque II tractors 89 Montero- stock 2.6 M/T 30-9.50 BFG all terrains on American Racing Wheels 99 2500 Ram- 285-75-16 Uniroyal all terrains,straight pipes with no cat (yes its loud) Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
