hey does anyone know how strong the vaccum should be from the carb intake boot to the fuel pump on an 85 lt230ge? cause im trying to narrow down my fuel supply issue. i can feel a little bit of a vaccum when i put my finger over the hose but not sure if theres a leak somewhere or a bad fuel pump.

nah it flows pretty good from the petcock when i turn the gas tank up and let it gravity feed. must be the pump then cause i replaced the seals on the intake boot. it just doesnt seem like a very powerful vaccum coming from the carb intake boot hose to the fuel pump
