if your not worried about smog then no you do not need it, just unhook the hose that goes back to the tank from it, do you still have the check valve in line back by the fuel filter?

No smog concerns here. 100% trail rig. I dint see any type of valve. Just a fuel filter I installed. Does that line need plugged for vacuum purpose?

OK there should be a small valve in line next to the filter that air might have damaged, I would drop the tank first and clean it out, there is no screen inside the tank, anything in there will plug the line.

Previous owner must of got rid of valve. I'll drop tank tonight and clean out. Is there a main cover I pull "like on the trackers" to gain access to the inside of the tank?

there is a round sending unit on top wit about six screws just pull it out and look at the pick up tube to make sure it is not rusted out or blocked, I add more hose on top of the tank for the return line to make it easy for me to get back in by myself, you night have to get help going back in.

Will see what I can do and Ill get back to you later tonight Back to replacing the mechanical fuel pump. Its held in by two bolts right? Once I pull the bolts with it slide straight out then install the same way?

thanks for the help

the pump could be good, run a line from the input to a gas can and try it.

It does spray some but without a gauge I'm not sure what is adequate.

It might be enough, I would look at the tank if it had a rag in it. but process of elimination works good too.

Removed tank and cleaned inside out. Little rust flakes but nothing that looks like it would clog the hoses. "much cleaner then I expected on the inside"  I poured gas down tube to make sure no debris was in it. I can hook it back up now but i dint expect a change
