Engine Mechanical problem
1987 Nissan Pathfinder 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 188k miles

So, I changed out my fuel filter.
Spark plugs are fine.
When putting fuel in carb it turns the engine over, but won't start it (gas in tank). Is this a fuel pump problem...if so, is that a pricey thing to fix. Paid $900 for the thing 6 years ago. It's a nickel and dimer at this point. I have nickels, but not dimes!

Is this a fuel pump problem... sounds like but you need to confirm the fuel pressure if its within specs- Do you hear the fuel pump come On when key at run position?
