Broke down in Halifax on Canada Day

[Spyphish]

Well, the Bluesmobile made it to the last day of the Great Race. Would not start this morning due to fuel pump failure. IF any racers close by have a generic 12V 3/8 line pump/wire/clamps/hose etc, we could bypass the stock setup. All the stores are closed and we are at the Marriott downtown. I can get it going when the stores open but thought I would ask the racing cloud.....Thanks and have a great holiday. Stephen 337-499-44 three five

Message Sharon Holmes Riley on FB.
They live right there. Bruce will surely be able to help.

Thanks to all that reached out. Parts stores should be open Monday and about an hour job to fix it. We have tools. Great firework show in Halifax so it's not like we are stranded. Just missed the finish line celebration so Corky Coker had to sing Soul Man. LOL Jake

Check the fuel pump pushrod. They can wear one end off and be too short to actuate the pump. When you look at it the center is larger diameter and machined smooth, each end should be the same length.

Quick update. We cut in an electric pump and it worked about a mile and lost prime. I noticed a gas drip spot under the tank in the over height parking garage so we have an air/gas leak at the tank. When it started with the electric pump, the remaining fuel in the manual line pumped out all over engine so it works. It is a blockage or air leak at the tank. Triple A has it at Coast Tire on Young Street, Halifax (closed) which is observing their holiday today. SO, if anyone knows someone there, give them a jingle as we are a LONG way from Louisiana.
