Re: fuel pump...maybe
Without being there to have a look, two things come to mind. Crud in the tank or lines or somewhere along the fuel system. But your comment about not being able to put fuel down the filler neck. Hmmmm,,,,sounds like the vent might be clogged. Fuel tanks need a vent of some kind. A lot of time the vent is in the cap or the filler neck. If no vent, the fuel pump will suck fuel for a short time and the engine will run fine. Then the suction factor becomes too strong and the pump gives up sorta. Now the pump isn't pumping/sucking, then engine dies and the system will then slowly equalize. Then it will start up, run and do the same thing all over again. Sorta like if you put an empty coke bottle in your mouth and suck until you can't suck any more. Whewww. Bob C. in northern CA
