Fuel Fluke

Hmmm,:-k How ya like those Carter pumps now Mulli?8)

I'm not officially going to comment on the Cater pump until I drive it some more and see if the psi drops back down to 4.5 like it has many times with the Carter. I will let you know if it does. I did noticed that when I pushed down on the Carter's arm and pushed down on the stock pump's arm .... the stock pump blew more air out of it than the Carter did. Also the Carters arm travel seems limited compared to the stock pump.


Ax, just a wild stab at the wind here.

Do you have "any" section of questionable rubber hose in the fuel system like maybe near the tank that may be collapsing shut on itself while under load?
If not.......

I second borrowing another carb for a quick let's see what this does.

Yes I have a foot or so of rubber hose that is connected to the tank then to the aluminum fuel line running to the front .... then six inches of rubber hose to the fuel pump then about two inches of rubber hose to the aluminum fuel line going to the carb then another two inches to the carb. I have removed all fuel filters before the carb cause I'm at wits end.... there is only a small brass filter near the carb is the only filter devise present.
I installed new rubber FUEL type rubber hose when I did the engine install with new clamps that are designed for fuel injection.

Yeah I'm going to try another carb.


Just for the record everyone the new radiator, fan, and shroud is working excellent! I've already mentioned that once I believe but today it seemed hotter and it still works like a champ. I can let it just idle out there in 90* weather and it stays just a shade past the 185 mark. It cost the s--t out of me but I really don't think I will have to worry about it getting 210* or more like it was doing. *knocking on wood*
