The issue I have is on a 31' 1988 Fleetwood Bounder (Class A) that we just spent a year renovating. All was perfect until the other day I went to give it its weekly startup. It ran for about 30 sec and then quit. It does have an electric fuel pump and a Holly carb on a Chev 454. When it ran, it ran perfect. Only 37k on odomiter and engine is imaculate. No oil leak or burn, ran cool, engine ran smooth as can be. I do know it has an electric pump because I used to hear it running. Now I do not hear anything My question is, where do I start the troubleshooting process.
Things I have done:
-Tried locating the pump but there is a 100 gal gas tank in the way, that is also about 3/4 full of gas. The fuel lines lead to the top of the tank but thats as far as I can see without dropping the tank, which I really want to avoid doing.
-Removed fuel line at regulator (that was replaced) and no fuel is comming out.
-Tried finding a fuel pump fuse, no luck, nothing marked fuel pump.
-Tried finding a pump relay or inertia switch, could not find anything like that, but I dont know an approx location where to look.
-Tried tapping tank with a rubber hammer, no luck.
My questions:
-How many pumps are there
-Is pump in the tank or external
-Is there an easy way to access pump
-Where is the fuse or fuse link
-Where is the fuel pump relay and/or inertia switch
-Are ther any other components that need to be checked
-Basicly, where do I start
We have spent a year of "Labor of Love" and only took it for 1 weekend test run, In Florida this is the time of year that is best to use it due to cooler weather. So any help I can get would be so greatly appreciated so we can finnally enjoy all the pain we spent on the renovation.
I am open and will try ANY input I am given.
Thanks
