The car will start but there is a lot of gas pumping into the carb and then is shuts off. There are 3 lines going to the fuel pump, but there are 2 lines at the top of the trunk that are not connected to anything. Could the mechanic have put on the wrong pump or did not connect it properly?

But if you can literally see gas pouring down the car, enough that it kills the engine, you have a carb problem and it needs to be rebuilt. Possibly a bad needle & seat or a sunk float Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 11, 2010, 2:37 AM Post #3 of 3 (1311 views) Re: Too much fuel pumping in carb and cuts off Sign In "Lines at the top of the trunk"? If you have a carbureted car, there should be no fuel lines in the back of the car. Someone may have done a fuel injection for carb swap or something like that in the past and may be using the wrong fuel pump. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
