Curt: I will post my pic when I can get it ready to be sent-hopefully this week. Hope you find your pic!
Roger: NO problem with step by step. ONLY way you know what has been done. OK, what I did Saturday: Cut off complete rubber line which connects 1) to short little metal end/line coming out of fuel pump 2) to long flanged metal line which runs to gas tank. When I did that the short little metal end at fuel pump dripped a little gas onto my driveway. Metal flang at long metal line was dry. I then blew compressed air into long metal line, for about 3 minutes. Then I connected new rubber line (I put a little oil on it first) to the long metal line–wriggled and pressed it on, then I put a clamp on that end. I next poured gas from a small funnel into the other end of my new rubber line until gas dripped out of the rubber. (About 1/4 soda bottle of gas) I then connected this end of the rubber to the small metal end coming out of the fuel pump, and clamped it . Then I poured some more gas down the carb, and tried again.
Is there anything else l can do, Roger?

Hi Beth,
You did what I would have donem and it is obvious the fuel is NOT traveling up the long metal line.
About the only other thing you could do is repeat the fill of the long metal line as before , then re-connect, then cut the line AFTER the pump, then crank the starter in an attempt to get the pump to draw fuel from the tank. This would determine once and for all if the pump works. I am tempted to suggest that you add pressure to the gasyank inlet, in an attempt to “push” the fuel toward the pump.
