Rob,
Can you set one aside for me? I would take the one without bracket. Cheers Clive

After a summer under tarps, the Jeep has been moved under cover. The weather is changing, the light goes out earlier, and the next step just a bit too much for me to tackle kneeling on a gravel driveway.
So, I built two more arches out of rough 1x6 boards and extended my 'Montreal Driveway Shelter' about 8 feet. I lashed a matching white tarp to the back end of the existing roof. Since I'd gathered a number of big Corplast election signs over the past while, I laid them as flooring and pushed the Jeep inside. I'll rig up some halogen worklamps, an electrical extension cord. I am quite pleased with myself. ![]() Who in Ottawa can help me troubleshoot my fuel supply and get the engine turning over? Donuts and coffee ![]() ![]() ![]()

Did you pull the tank and clean it out? New lines and filter? Is the fuel pump OK? There are more than a few jeep experts kicking around the local area - I am sure they can be lured out of the woods with the beer enticement. In any case, the Rotters can help with the beer fridge thing! Good luck.

Not to hijack the thread but is it not time for the Rotters to gather for a ogle-fest chez Gracie's?

The sender unit on the tank was removed and replaced once upon a time. Some of the little screws are missing. The lines have been disconnected and exposed to the air. Other than blowing out the spider eggs, and reconnecting the ends, why replace them? Hmm, fuel pump? Hafta go read the manual to see whether it is in the tank or in the engine compartment.

Or, you could use the Hammond method - soak in chemical cleaner and then blast the crap out the lines with a high pressure air hose...do not look in the other end of the line when doing so...and don't ask... In any case, if you are confident in the condition of your lines, I suggest you carry on and inspect the fuel pump.

Often the fuel pumps will dry out after sitting an extended period of time. The bit of crud in there can cause the one way valves to not work. Sometimes merely priming the pump with a bit of fuel poured down the line will cause it to develop suction again, other times you have top open it up and clean it out.
A major problem with the old M38A1s is that the rather course fuel fiilter built into the tank does not screen out the really fine particulate. These can build up in the fuel pump causing it to not pump, or else get into the needle valve and cause the jeep to flood, especially when it is hot and sitting at a stop sign. An inline fuel filter installed in the short flexline right before the pump will cure that problem. |
