The last few days have given me fits with the psi/fuel line issue. I had re-mounted the elec. pump last weekend with the pump outlet above the inlet at a 45 degree angle as per Autobest in order to avoid vapor lock. Thought I had it figured out. No such luck. It now cuts out every 5 min. or so and I have to turn on the elec. pump to keep from dying. Must have happened 10 times today driving the circuit. It worked better at slower speed like on CR56, but when the engine is under load like at speed, it will lose prime and cut out without the elec pump. I need to drive it now with the elec pump disconnected to see if better.
