SeanAugustus Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Beetle is only starting when I spray carb cleaner in it then dies once carb cleaner evaporates. Electrical wire coming from Ignition coil blew two fuses. I think its a bad fuel pump. What do yall think? thanks sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTR73 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey sean we learned about this in class on thursday on a corvette. First try checking the fuel pump relay. Then if that does'nt fix it its probably the fuel pump just a suggestion.. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KISS_Racing Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Dude, You should have asked if I knew anything about Bugs when we talked the other day... Call me tomorrow I may even have an old manual laying around... I used to rebuild Bugs back in the 80's... ?'s 1) Does it have an electric fuel pump? 1972 Beetle didn't have electric pump stock... 2) If so them (a) pump is bad... ( Need bigger fuse, because it's drawing to much current(amps) 3) Disconnect the fuel line if you haven't already... Get a piece of wire and go straight to the battery... 4) CALL MARK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanAugustus Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Thanks guys for your suggestions. LOL Mark, Your awsome and funny as hell. I didnt know I would be working on it until a couple days ago. It looks to be a mechanical pump sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
