Don't know about the Girl Line, but the fuel line is new from tank to the
rebuilt pump. The line from the pump to the carbs is still the old line.
I've been looking at the old cruddy line from the pump to the front carb and
thinking I should replace it. While I am at it, is there a better routing
for the TR6 fuel line than right under the water pump?

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.
