Some time ago you may remember by fuel pump problem. Well I have the new
one now and after the dumping gas episode with a stuck float valve it
was running fine. So today with the sun out and feels like spring is
here, I took the car out. Started OK as it's been a couple of week since
she last ran. Got around the corner and she started running rough with
very little power. Managed to trundle back around the block home. Could
not see anything wrong. Managed to get her running fine again after
checking that there was fuel, but she did it again this time it was
about 1/2 mile from home when the gremlins struck again. I tried to see
if there was a pressure build up in the gas tank and even tried to run
with the top open but still no luck. so persuaded her home again and
still can't see what gives. She now runs fine again, but I suspect that
driving back out she'll loose power again.
Any ideas as I checked the obvious even to making sure there is fuel in
both fuel bowls.
This is twin SU HS4 and a mechanical pump. Last time out she ran really
great.
