Spring of 2011 I got pissed off about carbs being pissy and decided to take it off the road till I found a better way.

have you been on the MS forums to get some answers there? They are a bit slow but usually give good info..

A good person to talk to is Matt Cramer, owner of DIY auto tune. He knows MS inside and out

Smart move. Even if it takes a couple of years. I always thought that going from FI to carbs is akin to moving out of your house into a tent.

This was the last weekend I drove the car for any length of time. After that it was a couple short trips, and then a big exhaust leak appeared (I hated that Eurorace header...) But that weekend may have been the cars longest ride, from York PA out to Cumberland. AX and back to York PA.

Just turned down a kayak down muddy creek trip to save time to work on my car tomorrow.
*sigh* that one kinda stung. Would have been with a crew that would have given me tips on how to get around a feature that has intimidated the hell out of me...

We'll one mystery solved. Won't fire if it's not getting any fuel.
Guessing a kinked line under the gas tank somewhere.

Glad I finally plumbed in a pressure gauge.

It. Ran. Today.

Doug came over today. We fixed some kinks under the gas tank.

Found some leaks. Fixed them.

Found that the fuel lines in the engine bay were plumbed backwards at the pressure regulator. Fixed that.

Primed it a few times (well, Doug primed it while I watched the fuel pressure gauge at the fuel rail).

And it fired up.

So.
Fuel pressure is low. Only 20 pounds. I need to adjust the pressure regulator.
I need to seriously do something about the rats nest of wires in the engine bay.
I need to get a new throttle cable and hook it up so I can start the car from inside the car, and not stand by the engine with my hand on the throttle.

And then I need to actually tune it.

But it is getting CLOSE!

IT RAN!
