Trying to fire the escort for the first time since the rebuild. We're having a few issues tho. The pump runs when the pipe near the carbs isn't attached and pumps fine. When attached to the carbs it stops like it's built the correct pressure and doesn't pump during cranking. so I have a few questions
shpuld the pump be live on the crank cycle too as well as position 2 or should all power go to the starter and just the vacuum on the engine be enough to suck enough fuel through to get it going ?
also at what point should the idle screw wire be set and choke. Could these be causing a pressure lock and unabling it to bleed the fuel through ?
Thanks
