Good cranking but no fuel at carb
« on: March 19, 2011, 01:41:26 PM »
I posted in the Your Mustangs section about a recently discovered 5.0L v8 (1978) member of my father-in-laws family.

It won't start (after being laid under wraps for 20 years).

It has new oil & fresh fuel.

When the key is turned, the engine cranks fine but there is a loud buzzing noise in the cabin, and the fuel gauge stays on zero. He can't say whether the buzzing was always there, but I guess it's related to the fuel delivery problem. At the air filter/carb, we can smell no fuel at all.

I think I read on here that there might be a relay in the cabin which is related to the fuel system, and that the fuel pump is under the back seat. Did I get those things right?

I'm not visiting him for a few days so I can't check these things out just yet. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks for reading :D
