Obviously, don't try to run it with leaking fuel lines. Too many of these have been lost to fire. Most of us have replaced the fuel lines with stainless steel ones made by Tangerine Racing or similar. It is likely that the fuel tank strainer has been gummed up. There is a strainer sock inside the fuel tank that should be checked/replaced. Fuel injectors are probably not functioning properly, and should be cleaned. Test fuel pump. Most people get their parts from Pelican Parts. I know GPR is trying to establish a place in the market also. General consensus is to stay away from Auto Atlanta. So many more items, but this should get you started on the fuel side. |
