Reply to "Electric Fuel Pump to Prime carb after car sits for period of time"

Thanks Percy and DWR46, Thanks for the input. As you know the fuel line to the Mechanical fuel pump comes out of the top of fuel tank. The current position of electric pump is close to the top of the firewall a bit below the fuel line coming out of the tank. I just checked the line connections and all are tight and no apparent leaks. I've seen some pics of the electric pump mounted high from other forum members and was easiest spot for me. I did start the engine about 5 days ago after letting it set for days but only started after my usual cold start procedure of cranking the engine for 20-30 seconds then couple pumps on the gas pedal.  The electric fuel pump did not help with cold start. I tried again yesterday and also did nothing to help with starting. I know choke is set correctly as the engine starts immediately if it sets for only 1-3 days. The pump s/b primed as I've run the engine with it connected. Just doesnt seem to be getting the suction to pull/push to the carb... Maybe a bad pump?
