no fuel - ebirder2000@... - 09-30-2007 04:04
The fuel shutoff solenoid is located just above the injection pump which is
in the forward end of the V-8 s valley. It requires 12 volts to operate,
(open to allow fuel). Absence of the 12 volts will not allow fuel to the
injection pump hence no start. Assuming that you have fuel in the filter you
haven't
just changed the filter have you? Then, the solenoid is where I would start.

Where would the pump be, or the device , solenoid or whatever makes the pump
run? Is there a separate fused circuit between the ignition switch and the
pump? Any other ideas?

Are we talking about a 3208? if so make sure the fuel shut off solenoid is
working, it should click when you turn on the key. if it diesn't you can remove
the solenoid and pull up on the fuel rack with your finger she should start
right now. to stop push down. to stop. I am assumimg youdo have fuel and the
service assembly doesn't need to be bleed. f so let me know. A 3208 usually
starts in just a few turns if she's going to run.

It is a 3208 and one of the problems has been finding the actual locations of
the fuel pump and the solenoid. Mike, Randy and the guys have given me some
direction there, so with my trusty meter and a set of spare hands( my pal
doesn't know I'planning to use his hands) I can ring that circuit out and
hopefully get this PROPERLY repaired and a test button installed. My # is

When you open the cover the service assembly sits in the vee of the engine
should be a solenoid standing stright up forward of the air cleaner. it should
click when the key is turned on.the fuel lines run from the assembly to the
injectors.there is usually a bleed screw or pitcock on top of the pump. if you
pump with the hand primeing pump you should get fuel out the bleed screw

I had a similar problem recently; turned out to be a poor connection
at ignition switch which in turn prevented fuel pump (above front of
fuel tank) from working. Vibration over time had caused loose
connection to scorch a bit. It would start if voltage was in the 14V
range but not below. Installed new wire and connections to ignition
switch solving problem. There is another solenoid on frame behind
curbside battery slide you might also check, which connects to main
starter solenoid.
