No gas coming out of carburetor main jets

Post by Unchained »

I have a 1987 Trojan 10 Meter with twin 454's, model 350. I took the carb and manifold off to replace a few bent pushrods and when I put it all back together it fired up and ran for a few minutes then died out. I wasn't getting any spark and found the ignition module was fried. I replaced that after returning from a 2 week vacation then tried to start it again. Now I find that there is no gas coming out of the jets in the carb. I replaced the electric fuel pump with a spare I had on hand but still no gas from the jets when I crank it and move the throttle back and forth. There is gas getting to the carb and the float bowls are full. I pulled off the carb and sprayed carb cleaner into the jets and then filled up the bowl and tilted it back and it poured out of the jets. I let it dry out then put it back on and still no gas coming out of the jets. How can this be? The bowls are full with gas and there's good pressure.
Do I just need to rebuild the carb? The 3 sets of numbers are SAEJ1223 9022 1265.

Sounds like you may have some trash in the carb , you may also have a bad acl pump in the carb ( thats what squirts gas in the carb when you pump it .)

I didn't realize a bad accelertor pump would cause no gas to come out. Thanks. I guess I'll get a rebuild kit.

BE CAREFUL HERE

Gas vapor is heavier than air and will most certainly accumulate in your bilge.

Just a friendly safety reminder from your Trojan Friends!
