Thanks as always Richard. I call my TR3 Prince Charles. Took him out after changing plugs to NGK BPR6HS and new fuel filter fix. Great 1st Spring day ride. I will be out with the top down all this weekend.
Nice educational video on how to trouble shoot a fuel system problem! By the way, it looks like you saved yourself some time and money on a fuel pump!!!
I also have a 1957 TR3, and I am having fuel issues as well. It just takes ages to start and trying to pinpoint where the problem is. I see that my sediment chamber next to the puel pump is full of gas. I opened the float chamber next to the carburetors and they were dry. So I poured gas in them at your suggestion, but I still couldn't get the car to start. My first thought is the fuel pump isn't working, but if it isn't working how is the sediment chamber filling up? I don't have any fuel filters in between the pump and the carburetors, at your suggestion I purchased a Dorman in-line fuel filter it will be delivered in a couple of days. In the case if you have any thoughts please let me know in the meantime I will wait for my fuel filter! Thanks for your very instructional video - it really explains a lot to me about this whole mechanism.
Take the hose from the fuel pump to the carburetor and run it into a jar. Turn it over to see if the jar fills would be my start. If the fuel pump working check the float valve s in both carbs. They could be stuck closed but if you have manually filled the bowls and still nothing there could be a spark issue. Let me know?
@@TRRehab OK great I will try that. I also need to check the spark issue as this could really be the problem. No use redoing the fuel system if we have a spark issue!
@@caseycat43 I don't believe there is a message that I have not answered within 24 hours. Not the best mechanic but I am excellent on returning messages. I hope it solves your issue. Check your fuel line hoses if it is the filter. Mine was decaying on the inside. That was the source of the problem.

Good troubleshooting and a nice easy fix.
Some things are as simple as the seem. I'm no mechanic but loving the journey.

@@brianburns9209 By the way.... I'm Brian also. 😁
@@TRRehab That's great. And you spell it the right way too!!
Thanks for the video, I am going to try it. Is that a Dorman open face filter and is it a 3/8”. I have a ‘59 TR3A
Yes it is a Dorman and it is a 3/16. Thanks for the question. I put a link in the description for purchase.
@@TRRehab Thanks! I bought the 3/8” and will return. Got it and appreciate you getting back to me!

Thank you for commenting
Awesome. Saved yourself some wasted work rebuilding a forum pump. Glad you didn't listen to me!!
I actually did listen Chris. I ordered 3 fuel pump kits. I think I will do a video on rebuilding the pump. I'm learning as I go my friend.
@@TRRehab great idea!
