Re: fuel pump

When you ran it did you remember to open the vent on the gas tank? Fuel pumps dont last too long when they cant vent. Please post your model and serial number.

Model 400 - its 50 hp - early 70's - Thunderbolt. Vent the gas tank? Probably didn't - its one of those inside the floor. I'm a novice.
