Dart falls on it's face.

Your volume may be low, I installed a 3/8 sender and lines. Maybe the sock is restricted? But some like a flow issue if it is not ignition etc...

I think 3/8 is the solution if there are no restictions?
can you do a flow test into a gallon can to see wha the rate per minute is..

I am running a RCI foam filled fuel cell with an 8an connection. I have ran the pump into a gas jug with the carb fuel line and it will spray halfway across the room.
