[TR] Fuel pump problems

[Roger Elliott]

On my wife's 250, we were having a similar problem.  The 2 or 3 miles 
was enough to get on the highway and up to speed.

Tried all kinds of things.  Replaced hoses in the engine compartment, 
the coil -  thinking it was getting hot and cutting out.  Checked carb 
diaphrams, fuel filter.

Finally, we found a rubber hose underneath the car at the back.  It 
connects the metal line from the tank to the metal line that goes to the 
fuel pump.  It was soft (probably the original hose)  and there was 
enough movement in the two metal lines to let the hose crimp and block 
the fuel flow.

Replaced it and it solved the problem.
