nurkvinny Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I finally got a burr up my ass to get the S10 going today. After all the usual "shit aint run in 2.5 years" stuff, the electric Holley blue pump wouldn't build pressure. I have a BG gauge under the hood that never left 0.0. Truck would run on starting fluid or a Bud can dripping gas into the carb. So, how in the Hell do you prime an aftermarket, in-line, electric pump? The pump is slightly higher than the fuel cell outlet. Edited March 21, 2011 by nurkvinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 pull the pump and rebuild it it is cheap. Assuming you have a sumped cell it should not need primed I bet the vanes are fubared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 ya it has fuel to it so it should never need plumbed. Stop at jegs and get a rebuild. P.S. you can rebuild it as a Black pump while you are at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 As in - http://www.jegs.com/i/Holley/510/12-811/10002/-1 ??? I also read in that post that some WD-40 could solve the issue as well. Guess I'll tear this bitch apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 IIRC they are easy. Couple plastics parts and a rubber gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
