Need some help guys.
I am not much when it comes to working on carbed stuff, but hopefully I can work through this.
I got my truck up and running now after all the recent repairs and modifications.
All I really did to the motor though was to re-do the fuel system from tank to carb. Pulled the fuel tank and replaced the sock filter, replaced all the fuel hoses, replaced the fuel pump, installed an inline clear filter, braided hose kit from filter to carb, and then the t fitting you see here in the photos so I could add the fuel pressure gauge.
# 1 problem that I have come up with is that the fuel immediately drains back down out of the line after shut down. I know this because I see that clear little filter start emptying toward the tank direction right away.
That's not normal is it?
# 2 the pressure gauge isn't doing Jack.. You guys think it is because of the location I have chosen to T the connection at and therefore the carb just sucks in all the pressure? Shouldn't matter should it?
# 3 the motor idles perfect. But try to go run it down the road and I can barely get it out of first before cough... cough... sputter.. dies.
It ran pretty good before I did the work on the fuel system, but now its quite different.
It almost sounds like a plugged jet in the carb to kill it like that? I am sure I will need to check out the float settings, etc. Just wanted to see if any of you guys had any idea. Especially about the draining fuel condition.
By the way there are NO leaks anywhere in the system. At least for that I am happy!
