Hi
Seem to be having trouble getting enough fuel from tank to engine.
I get excellent fuel pressure from end of line (at the tank) to carb.
Once it's hooked to tank I get drastic pressure drop. The car will
idle
and rev fine, even drive ok but when I punch it out it dies out.
No fuel at carb. I have had tank off a couple times and it is clean.
Air blows through pickup tube nice and strong.
This is a '79 1500 Midget with the tank with vent tube that goes into
emissions system. I have a sort of ill fitting gas cap on it now, am
waiting for new one to arrive but don't know if it's going to make a
difference.
I know it's a funny fit where fuel line meets tank pickup tube, I have
tried to redo it a few times with no improvment.
Possibly a hole in pickup tube is only thing I can think may cause
this.
I will give it a try again with a full tank and see what happens.
Any idias??
Thank You
Mike
