C10 Pickup Is it worth Saving? Swamp Donkey C10 Episode 3
What happens here
The presenter attempts to start the truck to illustrate the fuel problem. The engine cranks but fails to pick up fuel and start. To bypass the truck's faulty mechanical fuel pump, he introduces a small external electric fuel pump, which he calls a "clickity-clack." He has pre-prepared it with custom extension leads featuring alligator clips. He connects these leads to the truck's battery. He notes the external pump is designed for 4- and 6-cylinder carbureted engines, though he's using it on a V8 for temporary priming.
Goal: Confirm lack of fuel delivery and set up a temporary priming solution.
