I have a 1960 SeriesII with a new mechanical fuel pump (PLC349 - from Rovers North). The engine turns over but does not start. If I spray carb cleaner into the carb (or pour in a small amount of gas) it starts but stops pretty quickly. I have a new battery, coil, plugs, wires, condensor, points and, of course, fuel pump.


When I pump the fuel pump manually the fuel pumps through the fuel line without any problem. However, when I start the engine I don't see fuel being pumped up the line so suspect lack of fuel is the reason it is not starting. Any thoughts on what could be the issue and how to troubleshoot and fix it? Note - yesterday I removed the fuel pump and re-installed it to be sure the arm would be on top of the cam. Still no luck.

Thanks for any insight!
