Michael, Before going and hooking up and extra pump I would test the flow of fuel through the system. ie see below. >Test fuel system using a 1 litre container and disconnect fuel line at carb, >turn pump on and dispense fuel into container. If you can pump around 1 >litre a min you should be ok. You can also do this before and after filters >etc to find restrictions in the system. If problem persists check needle and >seat in carb. > You can do this using a stopwatch and coke bottle. I tested at every joint in the system to find where the restrictions were. I found a dodgy piece of hose and a clogged filter which caused a big restriction in the system. I also found the facet pump I used to not flow enough fuel though the tinned fuel lines.

I am not sure whether the fuel bowl is running out beacuse the pump can't keep up or there is a restriction in the fuel line. The car sat on a farm in Warragul for 3 years. I am guessing that all the crud in the tank has settled. I will put some new fuel line of a wider diameter. I car currently runs a Bluebird electric fuel pump. I have another so I am going to try and run them in series (ie near fuel tank and in engine bay) in the short term and see if that makes a diffe See you at Sandown.
