curious where to get the mixture screw as i'm remembering mine has a scored ring a wee bit down from the tip and no one said anything about it when i mentioned it in a previous post. any info on it's function and what would entail damaging it to the point of not functioning correctly will be appreci...

well i got her running, and i'm feeling pretty silly right now because it seems i haven't been getting my battery charged enough to be able to crank the engine enough to pull gas through the whole line before having to wait for my trickle charger to charge the battery again. having the use of a high...

gas is not really coming out the other end of the pump even isolated, but going back down the return line instead. i guess perhaps it really does take quite a bit of effort for this pump to pull through and out about 8 feet of hose. but why is it going back down the return? leaving me without gas to...

it did run fine for the most part when i got it. and has just run down hill to this point.

i guess i could pressure test the pump itself at different points in the line too...not sure that's going to get me anywhere though and might break a good pump.

the mystery thickens...

filter to pump line & tank to filter line both hold air, but.... i can't seem to draw from my can at the end of the line by the tank

maybe re-rebuilding the carb again..?.?...?

well the end results are proof that no amount of effort has been enough so far. new filter new pump new soft lines all around lines blown out both ways (yes the entire fuel line end to end sectionally) tank dropped and inspected. clean sock. line blown out, both ways. everything put back together, i...

to late. i dropped it. (actually easier than finding places to put all the stuff packed inside. fairly windy to so potentially a nightmare of my things blowing away ) blew it off with an air compressor before dumping the gas out into a catch and through a screened funnel into my can. was over 4 gal,...

If it ran fine with the pump pulling fuel from an auxilary tank, it sounds like the line between the pump and tank may be the culprit. Chris read the posts leading up to installing the spare pump. most of page 2. i also no longer have gas to test with. (or money, a running car, food) and it's reall...

so made it to the pump and it failed to pull. lucky for me id put the cheapo in and saved the delphi as my back up. put it in and hooked all the lines back up and nothing. got it to pull straight from the pump, so the spare pump works. hooked everything back up again and put the rest of my gas in th...

i remember trying that before and having gas squirt back at me form pressurizing the tank. though i'm treating this as a whole new diagnosis. only thing slowing me down is the battery staying charged. about to end with the pump, but your logic of starting with it is solid. there was a split second p...

to make things more interesting, while the battery was charging i decided to replace the flimsy quick lock positive battery terminal that had been used to replace the old standard terminal with one i'd purchased for it a wee ago only to discover it was a smaller negative terminal. and of course i'd ...

aaand my battery died. no hissss when i unscrewed the cap though. i'm guessing with the cap removed i'm eliminating the evap and return lines as culprits...yes? going to inspect the canister anyways while the battery charges on the trickle. definitely need another jack to inspect the lines under the...

want to reiterate how much i appreciate your patience ... and quick response time. amazing compared to other forums really. this really has been a headache working backwards having started with the carb when i bought her, and having no idea what was robbing the little bit of power it should have. tr...

oh... and i was mistakenly referring to the calipers piston as a cylinder. my bad. i have been wanting to do the simple-ish brake upgrade since these ones get ridiculously hot to the point that even my lugs are to hot to touch and are lacking in stopping power. just waiting to find the right donor i...

going to do my best to trouble shoot the fuel & evap lines again. been super windy here lately though and i don't have a garage to work in. curious if the evap canister could be causing vacuum i the tank by not venting correctly, though not sure why a venting gas cap wouldn't handle that on it's...
