I posted last week about my '02 not starting after the first really cold night. After some checking, there's plenty of spark (fires on starting fluid), most of a tank of gas, fuel in the lines up to the pump, no fuel in the carb. No is being moved by the pump while the engine in cranking (ran line from pump into container; no dice). Fuel weeping out of the pump housing. I suspect a weak pump diaphragm got brittle and failed on that first cold night.

Thoughts?

Tim, can you try another fuel pump? They are about 60$ new, anyone in the area have a good used one you can try? Tim.
