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.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1445760566878_15345">Mike MacLean</div><div dir="ltr">60 Sprite</div><div dir="ltr">56 BN2<br clear="none"></div></div></div></div><br clear="none">------------------------<br clear="none">
