Re: [DML] I think my fuel pump is shot. Your thoughts please!

Hi, I would check the fuses and the relays first. If the fuel pump is old I would replace it anyway, as it is the heart of the fuel system. Casey, VIN 3270

and it acts like it isn't getting any gas. I tried putting a small 
amount of gas into the carburetor and it will start only for the few 
seconds that the gas ignites then it dies again. I think this is a fuel 
pump problem but I wanted to run it past you guys just to make sure I'm 
right. Thanks for any help and information you can give me.
