Based on your complaint and the skill level you imply, none of the listed publications will provide insight on the fuel problem. To further prove the point, I have the service manual that is shown in the link, and I know it fairly well because I'm a readaholic. Would someone please post the section/page number that will provide even a hint of a suggestion as to how this publication would aid someone trying to solve a fuel problem?

You need literature that instructs on basic troubleshooting skills, a subject that isn't covered in these publications. Even that will be limited instructions.

I don't do technical advice anymore; instead, I mostly offer sarcastic mouth to keep in tune with the evolution of this board.

I will, however, try to get you pointed in the right direction. Assuming that you have verified that the pump doesn't pump--that is step one--there are 3 issues.

The first, and most unlikely is an obstruction in the fuel line between the pump and tank.

Second and more possible is the pump is bad.

Third and probabaly the most common is faulty assembly. Here's where it gets dicey because there are two very common faulty assemblies.

The first faluty assembly is the pump arm sits atop, not under, the eccentric on the cam. The second and equally as common faluty assembly is that the ecentric on the cam is loose; as a result, the ecentric spins around rather than "rocking" the fuel pump arm.

Just like determing whether or not the line from the tank to pump is obstructed, determining if it's a bad pump, the arm isn't hitting the ecentric, or a loose eccentric is something you have to determine. I don't do technical advice anymore, and if you need instruction on verifying these issues, shows that these technical publications will be worthless as a solution to your problem.
