fuel delivery problem

If I read this right, your fuel line comes from the tank, to the filter, to the electric fuel pump, then to the carb. If this is how it's set up, it won't work. I also have a Carter electric fuel pump. I had a cannister filter before the pump. I had to switch it do the pump was before the filter. Remember, electric fuel pumps are pushers, not pullers, so they need to have some help getting fuel flowing. This means mounting the pump as close AND as low as possible, so gravity helps get the flow going. Then mount the filter as low as is reasonable. Make sure you don't have a blockage in any lines.
