As you may remember my woes listed below.
Well I checked everything I could think of as well as things others
mentioned on the list. Everything pointed back to the mechanical pump
putting out too much pressure. I put an adjustable fuel regulater between
the pump and the carbs (set it to 3 lbs.)...problem went away.
I want to thank everyone on the list for their help and advice. I still
can't believe I didn't get at least ONE smart A*s response. (Yes...I mean
you Ed) :o))
