VK 304 not starting (fuel pump?)
Hey guys, I can't get my VK V8 started after tinkering with the mechanical fuel pump yesterday. It was running fine but when I put the fuel pump back in and tried to start it, it wouldn't go. It's got spark,compression, etc etc But I keep cranking it over and nothing happens, I've put fuel in the carby and it just burns that off and dies again.
What could possibly happen to the pump to make it fail?
Oh and is there another fuel pump in the fuel tank or is it just the mechanical one that is attached to the timing cover?
Could low fuel level in the fuel tank cause this problem?
if it starts when you put fuel down the carby i would say that it is not getting any fuel to the carby Could be your low fuel level in the fuel tank or maybe it just needs a new fuel pumpOriginally Posted by Pav
Not a valid input....
There is your problem.
You put you left foot in, your put your right foot in , you take your left foot out and you slide it all about!
Yeah but all I did was remove it, replace the gasket, and straight back on. Apparently it is a new pump as well. Does the lever have to go in a certain way?

yes...it certainly does! Look inside where the lever goes and you will soon work it out. hances are yours is sitting under the lobe/cam

or is it supposed to go below it and you put it above? Don't really remember now. lol
But I got $20 that says you re-installed it wrong.
