Greetings and Cheers,
We've just replaced head gaskets on a carburated 4-Cyl, 1600 and it won't pump gas to the carburator after the initial startup...needless to say, it dies? We can keep it going by adding gas manually through the carb. Is there anything electrical worth checking (eg. sensors, relay switches, emergency cutoff switches, etc.), since we don't believe it's the fuel pump, filter or any vacuum problem.
Thanks for the help!

If you can't get fuel up to the carb, then it must point to the pump or an air leak in the pipework somewhere.
There might be an air bubble in the pipework which refuses to budge.
Check for any kinks in the pipework and suck on the carb's fuel intake pipe to bring the fuel up. Not nice I know, but you can always spit it out!!
