Didn't look like it was being pulled up where they were finishing in that picture. Seems like it would affect the finish to pull it up being that close to the finishing.

Can you get a fuel pressure tester in there somewhere to see if pressure drops?

They were pretty good about lifting it as they went. Maybe not perfect but well enough.

I am sure I can. I really believe it's related to the cam I put in. I have unplugged the fuel controller I added with no change and also loosened the belt to make sure the new clutch wasn't affecting anything. The cam is the only other thing changed.

Good evening guys!

Yeah probably a good idea to check fuel pressure as it runs. Does the fuel pump suck it out of the tank or is it a in tank one? Assuming you have checked or changed the fuel filter. When you describe the symptoms that way it sure sounds like a fuel delivery issue.

The pump is in tank. No true filter to replace. Just a screen.

Gotcha. Well then I guess the only test would be fuel pressure.

Evening guys! Was a busy day at work and then headed out to pickup up a used spare fridge for home. Fridge was good but what a diesaster getting it out of their house. Had to take doors off the house and the fridge. Ugh.....oh well at least my beer will be cold again.

Good morning Jay! Happy Hump day!

Yes it is! Hopefully get it plugged in and running tonight. After bouncing around on the way home I wanted to let it sit for 24 hours before I plugged it in.

Hopefully it was free for that amount of work to get it.

Nothing is free these days but it was drastically cheaper then what a new one is these days. Even the new "cheap" ones are ridiculous in price......in my opinion.
