Dodge Vogue villa grande 1979 won't start

Hi,

I have a Dodge Vogue villa grande 1979 thats been in storage for 5 years. It used to start fine but now it doesn't. It turns over but never starts. I have removed the engine cover inside the Vogue and usual before there was a smell of fuel when starting but now there is no smell.

I have put new fuel into the motorhome (not much as fuel isn't cheap in the UK haha) do you think it could be a fuel pump issue? If so where would i source one of these?

I'm not 100% sure on the type of engine but I can try and find out of its required?

Thanks alot
Joe

    Remove the airn cleaner and locate the throttle linkage. Try pumping the linkage while looking down the carbuetor. Do you see any fuel? Yes? Then it is powsibly electrical. No? Then yiur on the right track. It is possible it is a fuel pump. But also very possible a rotted rubber fuel line.
