Took the Bugeye out to run an errand tonight. Could not get it to idle.
As soon as I took my foot off the gas it would die. I recently had a
problem with the ethanol in the gas plugging up the fuel system after leaving
it sit in the garage for a few months without starting it. I installed a
new Facet fuel pump, but I can hear the new pump going constantly behind me
like the tank is almost empty, but according to the fuel gauge it had at least
a 1/4 tank left. As long as I kept my foot in it and did not stop
anywhere, it ran like a scalded cat. That new 1275 that I installed a few
thousand miles ago is finally breaking in. I was going to replace the
fuel tank. (I have a new one ready to paint and install), but I got it running
by draining the old ethanol laced gas and filling the tank with 100 octane
ethanol free gas. I thought I cleaned the fuel system out of the
ethanol. It ran great for a while. It did die a couple of times, but
started right up again and would idle, now I have to keep revving the throttle
at the stop light to keep it running. I hate this Kalifornia gas.</span></font></div>
