Hi all. I bought my Wagon not running. Steel tank was rusted through. I replaced the Stock Steel Fuel Tank with a Poly Tank. I also got a new Gas cap. I found the Fuel Pump to be Bad. I wanted to replace it , so I sealed the disconnected line at the Fuel Pump. After I replaced the Fuel Pump, I opened up the line and Fuel came shooting out like it was being pumped. I re-sealed the line and took off the Gas Cap. Massive suction. So then I connected the line to the Fuel Pump. Then I put the Cap back on tight. My wagon started right away, but Gas started to shoot out of the of the Carb. Went back to the Gas Cap and cracked it and got the same Vacuum sound. With the Gas cap loose, started it up again. Still shooting fuel out of the top of the Carb. So, to me , the Carb. is shot. But my question is : Is there supposed to be that much Vacuum in the system? Does the Fuel cap need to be a ventilated one? Thanks for any input.
