did this, several times
played with the levels a little bit, running them a hair higher then it was at first, but that made no differences
Probably not the problem unless the float can not travel to the bottom of the bowl to get a speedy fill of the bowl
gotcha, i guess i did this them, and IF it blew off it is floating around in the tank somewhere
i could see it getting sucked into the pickup and restricting fuel flow.
If it comes out clean and not damage then i would reinstall it on the new sending unit........My guess is that it has been removed long ago.
on the bright side, i got a larger pickup on order, so well see when im ready to swap that on where the sock is
would you suggest leaving the sock off allogether?
My opinion is, Yes. If and or when you go electric fuel pump you will need a better fuel filter then that anyways(it is just a screen)
the problem here is, i dont know of a stretch of road empty, and long enough where i feel safe doing this type of "test"
under normal acceleration, i have no issues, it is only at the 1/4 mile drag
My thought would be to start really slow on a freeway on ramp, and nail it!!!!!
this is to verify the pump is pushing plenty of fuel, correct?
yes
obviously a trickle will be too little, but how can i tell when it is "enough" ?
If it start to flow out decent and then goes to a trickle, then you know there is something that is trying to block fuel when the demand goes up! In you suction side of the line.
the lines going from the pump to the filter, regulator and carb are all braided AN-6 lines, and less then a year old.
i'm running a billet rebuildable filter
i will tear it apart, check for junk and report back
