1078 A0 engine starts, runs for anywhere between 8-30 seconds... [newbie ? buried in a long post]
Mine had a crack in the filter bowl. Didn’t find it until I filled the system with fuel, capped the return line at the tank and applied 10PSI from a regulator at the fuel feed line at the tank. Let it set for a while and then found fuel weeping from the bowl below the seal. I replaced the... -

you probably couldnt use it with the inline primer though, as it would not allow enough flow. That is why our primer setups have that flapper bypass valve, the lift pump moves a lot of fuel. I ran my return into a bucket once while testing, i didnt time it, but it put fuel in the bucket... -

Pre-made -6 jic lines in various lengths are common stocked items in a lot of places. I bought a set at surplus center… -

Did you put the return into your can? These things circulate a ton more fuel than they actually burn:) -

The seal between the primary filter and the water separator bowl is also a common place for leaks, that and cracks in the old bowls. You need to be able to pull a Vacume from tank all the way to the lift pump on the governor… -

Yea they ran out of the older alts at some point, and you will find some A0 trucks with the newer alt if they had a failure… -

@chucky its an A0, so probably no lights on the alternator/regulator… A bad connection can do the same thing to the run solenoid on the governor… -

The primer doesnt have a “plunger” other than that handle that is part of the diaphragm assembly. If you hold a seal on the inlet and push the black button in, it will stay in if it is sealed. Just took a vid of mine, stays in untill I remove my finger… give me a bit to upload it… ok, here... -

You should be able to get fuel at every fitting after the primer when pumping. If the primer is working, you should be able to pump fuel completely thru the system in under 40 or so pump strokes if the filters are full of fuel. In the first vid I showed a plug on top of the secondary filter... -

It does sound like fuel. If you pump the system full of fuel you should have a firm primer bulb, as you hydraulically push fuel past the pressure regulator. You should be able to hear fuel falling back into the tank from the return line as you pump if its quiet. it is also redicously easy for...
