[TR] tr3 loss of power

[Frank Fisher]

long story...but here goes

couple months ago the tr3 lost power. at one point
it quit completely. got out pumped the primer on the fuel pump. got in and it
started and ran good. then it lost power again and then it got it back, lost
power.......got it back...etc. it limped and ran and got me home.

i figured
fuel pump. checked the diaphragm and yup, there was a small hole.
bought a kit
from ****, installed it. ran great. for about a month. then the same problem.
run bad, run good............cursed at **** for selling me a diaphragm not
good for modern fuel. took the pump apart and could not see any thing wrong.
huh!

buddy Paul had about 4 other old pumps in a box.
took what looked to be
the best of them. installed it. car ran great. that was 2 weeks ago and a 1/2
tank regular. today, same problems.

ill take WAG and test them this weekend.
i have lots of time to play, this being a long weekend celebrating the defeat
of my forefathers! ;-)

thank guys
