first time down the track advise?
#1 make double sure that your fuel level is in the middle of the sight glass in both the primary and secondary bowls.
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
#2 when the sock in the tank was talked about. You were under the impression that compressed air was used to clean the sock. NO, compressed air is to blow the sock clean off the suction tube on sending unit.
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
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?
#5 remove your gas cap and take it for a hard drive.
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
#4 go buy a lone piece of rubber fuel line, (you can use this to replace all the rubber lines in the system after words) Start eng and verify that the fuel bowls are full of fuel. (shut eng off) disconnect the rubber hose from the fuel pump(the one going to the carb) and install your new rubber fuel line into a container. run the fuel line under the car and into a container out next to your wheel.(having a fire extinguisher on hand is always a good idea.)
this is to verify the pump is pushing plenty of fuel, correct?
obviously a trickle will be too little, but how can i tell when it is "enough" ?
the lines going from the pump to the filter, regulator and carb are all braided AN-6 lines, and less then a year old
#6 replace your fuel filter and blow threw the old filter, to see if it is plugged
im running a billet rebuildable filter
i will tear it apart, check for junk and report back
