Bringing back a '73 from a barn. Got her going. She starts great cold, first thing in the morning, cranks right up. She will only run for about 5 minutes and then peters out and won't start until the next morning.
Any thoughts? |

Well don't take my word for it. But I was always under the impression that the clear filters were for low pressure systems. A higher pressure FI system (well above 4-5 PSI) might not work well with it, and in a worst case scenario, break the glass/plastic and spew gas. As far as the rest of the FI is concerned, I'm not the guy to ask. Dave Darling will be along soon with some good suggestions though.
One more thought though - with the pressure of a FI system, I would definitely think that clear filter would be full. Perhaps a blockage prior to the filter, or like these gentlemen said, lines crossed. Aren't the stock fuel pumps three outlets? Seems like it would be easy enough to mix up. |
