The cover is definitely warped a little . It doesn't leak gas out though even when the primer ball is tight . At this point I'm sure a rebuild of the parts you mentioned are in order . Was just curious if it could be ran without it until I get parts to rebuild.
I've narrowed it down to the vapor separator tank assembly, if I bypass this whole system and run the gas inlet directly to the fuel pump instead of through the vapor tank first, it pumps fuel like a champ ! Do I NEED the vapor tank or will it run and be fine with it bypassed ?
That would make sense but I've checked and rechecked everything countless times and everything is hooked up properly. I understand very well how these things work which is why its so baffling. I know 90psi of compression is a bit low but would that cause the pulse to not be strong enough to...
Pulse line is connected and clamped . Also ran engine with pulse line off to see if it was pulsing and it does . Not sure if it's strong enough but has a fair amount of pressure
Needle and seats are all working as they should. This engine has a vapor separator tank just above the fuel pump. The fuel passes through a screen which is clean , into a passage beside the vapor tank , then to the suction side of the fuel pump , put of the pump into a vapor separator tank which...
Yes I'm 100% on the work I did . As a mechanic of 20 years I am confident in that . Additionally I've rechecked the carbs twice . I'm certain there are no restrictions from the tank to the engine , everything there has been replaced and the primer ball does not suck itself closed .
