Andy, I look forward to seeing the answer to your question!B B S ome side
thoughts to share while we await them.B B When you changed your fuel pump,
did you find any debris on the inlet side?B B There should be a mesh screen
filter there that would keep anything large from the tank fouling the pump and
anything further downstreem.B B When I changed my pump last summer, I made
sure there was nothing clogging the lines between the tanks and the pump inlet
side.B B with the tanks as empty as possible I ran compressed air into the
tanks with the pump out of the lines.B B just ran a line from my air
compressor into the filler opening and made a crude sealB with a towel around
the hose and stuffed into the opening and held it all in by hand.B B Not a
perfect seal , but the line to the pump blew out very clean.B B If you can,
you might want to try that before going to the trouble of pulling the
tanks.B B You could also do the same thing from the output line from the pump
to the carb inlet after disconnecting every thing.
Just some thoughts that may or may not be helpful!
Cheers, Gene

Subject: [Tigers] Gas tank question
Hey, guys:
I'm still having a stalling problem with my Tiger. B I've performed a complete
ignition tune up and have been through the Holley 465 carb. B I've also
replaced the fuel pump as well. B In short, I'm now down to investigating
further into the fuel system, which means checking for trash in the tanks.
It's been a loooooooong time since I've pulled the gas tanks out of a Tiger
and, frankly, I can't remember the proper order in which the apparatus is
removed. B Do the actual tanks come out first, followed by the curved pieces
of
pipe and then the balance tube, OR does the balance tube come out first,
followed by the curved pipes and then the tanks? B Can someone help jog my
failing memory???
Thanks,
Andy Walker
