RV particulars: Fleetwood Southwind
Driveline (Engine, Transmission) Chevy 454 4bbl gas, 3spd auto
Miles: 75,000
Year: 1983
Break Down Description: Engine would not start after shutting it off.
Symptoms: Engine would turn over but not start.
Cause: After determining there was no fuel getting to the carb I replaced the mechanical fuel pump...still didn't work, I then replaced all of the steel fuel line from engine to rubber hose exiting the top of the gas tank. Still didn't work. I then replaced the mechanical fuel pump with an electric fuel pump and mounted it on the chassis just after the fuel tank...still no fuel. I then removed the rear queen bed and cut a hole in the floor above the fuel tank and replaced the rubber fuel hose. All working now.
Outcome: The engine runs now.
