As you may remember my woes listed below.
Well I checked everything I could think of as well as
things others mentioned on the list. Everything
pointed back to the mechanical pump putting out too
much pressure. I put an adjustable fuel regulater
between the pump and the carbs (set it to 3
lbs.)...problem went away.
I want to thank everyone on the list for their help
and advice. I still can't believe I didn't get at
least ONE smart A*s response. (Yes...I mean you Ed)
:o))
