Hey WPTA,
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
I=E2=80=99m an auto enthusiast, and last year decided to make=C2=A0 my 7th =
car a 1980 TR7 which has (intermittently) been a fun project car,
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
After buying it last year and changing all fluids (in addition to the rebui=
lding the rear brakes plus installing new brake master cylinder) , I=E2=80=
=99ve enjoyed putting a few miles on it, but I=E2=80=99ve come across a new=
 issue.
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
I=E2=80=99m not getting fuel to the engine which I=E2=80=99ve narrowed down=
 to one of two possible issues.
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
I=E2=80=99ve replace some but not all fuel lines, and am seeing fuel gettin=
g to the mechanical fuel pump (verified by removing the input hose), and ha=
ve yet to diagnose if fuel is leaving the fuel pump and getting to the carb=
s.
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
The other issue I believe exists, is that, as a post-millennial, I need som=
eone with more experience and tools than I have to help me balance my carbs=
.
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
Any chance another WPTA member nearby (I=E2=80=99m in 15212) would be able =
to help a guy out this Sunday afternoon or anytime next weekend?
=20
 =C2=A0
=20
Beer and steak are on me.
