[Tigers] Fuel Pressure Too Low?

[James Lindner]

Thanks for the replies.

It is good to know that at least my fuel pressure is close if not within
range.

I thought about the tanks and remembered seeing a receipt from the restoration
ten years ago by the previous owner. I checked the receipt and it said tanks
bcleaned and lined.b Unfortunately I do not have any more info than that.
I also have recently changed out the fuel filter.

All that said, I think blowing out the line between the inlet of the fuel pump
and crossover tube might be prudent and also checking to see if anything is
hung up right there at the connection between the crossover tube and the line
to the pump.

Again, thanks.

Jim

How about the fuel filter?

If the pump is reading a strong pressure maybe the fuel filter is clogged
enough to cause this problem.

Easy enough to change the filter.

  Jim,
  Had similar symptoms on the first Tiger I bought (probably reason the PO
  sold the car). Turned out to be the fuel tank lining peeling off and
  plugging up the crossover center outlet. Got tanks boiled out and recoated
  and no problems since.

  The SU diaphragm pumps never generate more than 2 to 3 psi, so your
readings
  are correct. The stock pump is adequate for normal driving and sub-200 HP
  engines.

  Hi Listers,

  Recently, I have been experiencing some engine stumbling/hesitation after I
  have driven for 30-40 minutes. It felt as if the engine was starved for
  fuel.
  I checked the accelerator pump and power valve, ruled them out and then
  figured it might be the fuel pump.
