Does the girl line have any crud in it ? It would be easy to believe there
rust, varnish and the like. I had one car that needed a new fuel line. I
tried
very hard to clean the old one but it appeared that the restrictions enabled
the vapor lock issues. You can substitute a temporary rubber fuel line from
tank to pump to see if it helps.
