I hope you enjoy the rest of your Friday & may your weekend be awesome!
I'm off to go shopping & pickup some hay for Monty Doodles & Miss Kitty. Then it's off to volunteer at the Food Bank in Silver Springs. Hopefully we'll go out for pizza after!
Morning to all. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
I was not able to change out the fuel pump. I need to get a steel line to go between the carb and the pump.
I think this is part of the problem I am having in the heat. I think once the pump shuts off and the pressure reduces the rubber hose collapses.
This causes it to not want to crank back up. I hope putting a steel line back in will solve this problem.
no it runs from the pump on the drivers side up and over to the carb. Got the 300 i6 exhaust is passenger side only.
I am thinking a vapor lock type situation is causing the hose to collapse on itself. Same theory behind springs inside radiator hoses.
Some PO had cut the original steel line and replaced it with rubber hose. I want to return it to a steel line.
With an average temp of 105-110 in the summer I think this will help. I also need a new line that will fit the pump I bought.
The one on the current pump is larger.
steel line should be fairly inexpensive. I just need to get the time to run and get it.
Classwork has to come first.
I need to find some picks of how it was originally ran also, so I can bend it properly.
I think it might have come around in front of the valve cover and not over it like the rubber hose is.
I don't want any problems later on if I need to remove the valve cover.
