I didn't receive your first post AFAIK.  Anyway, you can jump the fuel pump relay and listen, but I doubt this is your problem(but I could be wrong ofcourse). Can you rev the engine at all? If not, check for vacuum leaks, especially around the air intake boots.  They often have holes in between the ribbing.  Change your air and fuel filters.(change the oil too once you get it running).  I assume your not trying to start on old gas, if so drain the old and put some fresh fuel in there.  The best thing you can do is get a Bentley manual if you don't already have one!

Have'nt driven it since retiring a couple years ago.It will crank over fine and fires-up (used starter fluid) but can't keep it running.I suspect fuel pump. How can I check it. Can I run a wire from +12v to the pumpterminal and listen?Any input would be appreciated.ThanksMelc
