[Healeys] I'm stumped

[David Porter]

Floats not in play. Whether they work or not, flow or no flow it doesn't
make the pump loose suction..  Got to be leak between tank and pump, but it
isn't to be found..

Are floats filling with fuel?
Needle/seat not aligned?
Ghost in the machine?
Frozen 2"block of oak wood stuck in the wrong weight oil.

BJ7 sat for 40 odd years. Fuel line from pump to carbs clear. Tried two new
pumps. One SU square body (tried two different bodies) . Replaced
steel/brass banjos to rubber hose with nipples and installed a facet LP
pump. Replaced fuel tank believing the pick up tube was rusted through on
old tank. Checked filler breather.

 Symptom: car runs for a couple miles and the pump stops pumping (looses
suction) However will pump a steady/adequate quantity when disconnected from
float bowls. Floats and level adjustment at spec. New needles and seat. Hot
or cold.. tried every fix know to man. 3 times at least..still no joy

 What is going on?
