Scott, Yes I have a feeling it's fuel related - but I am not sure exactly why - it's been running great. Recently I dropped the tank and replaced all of the cross over tubes and rubber gommets and such with a quality "reseal" kit from one of our vendors. I replaced all the fuel line from the tank to the small plastic line (everything int he engine bay was done a couple of years ago) and the return line to the tank is new as well. All new stainless high quality fuel line clamps too. I also removed the crappy plastic pre-filter and went witht he later model post canister filter. I do think I'll start with that filter though as that was an off brand from the local FLAPS - so maybe it was junk. -- Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '90 Carat (Grover - the noble parts donor) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
