[Tigers] Fuel Pressure Too Low?

[Joe Parlanti]

Jim,

Robin Young has a good point about debris in the fuel tank crossover tube.
When I bought my Alpine I had a similar problem where the carbs would be
starved for fuel. I would shut the car down and it would start right up, go
a 1/2 mile or so and then stop again. I finally took the fuel line loose at
the tube and noticed what looked to be blades of grass clogging it. After
removing the tanks, I eventually fished out about a handful of grass
clippings, a ball point pen and several pieces of a coke bottle. Apparently,
the previous owner's kids had found out how to open the fuel cap...

Jim, my first thought was trash in the cross over pipe that is too large to
pass to the fuel pump.  It could be something with near specific gravity to
fuel that floats when at rest but is caught up in the flow when fuel is
moving. Just a thought. RObin
