Message: <blockquote data-quote="LazyKG" data-source="post: 89420" data-attributes="member: 12643"><p>After reworking most of the fuel delivery system, the darn thing won't start - it wants to, it cranks and starts to fire, but stalls within a second or two after I stop cranking with the starter. I then need to let it sit with key on for 20 seconds or so before trying again - any less than that and it just cranks. After validating that I had spark and that the distributor appeared to be working properly, cleaning the carb, installing a carb kit, and replacing the fuel filter and fuel shut-off solenoid it was running fine. Then, one day after running for maybe 20 minutes or so, it just stalled and would not start. It acted like it was not getting enough fuel to run so fuel so I validated the solenoid was indeed working and that there was no restriction in the gravity fed fuel lines._____ Even though the mechanical pump was replaced with a new one just before I bought the machine in June of this year, it did not now seem to be pumping properly even though the fuel would gravity feed to it without problem (the tank is behind the seat and the outlet above the engine), when running gas from the pump into a can, the flow was unsteady, full of air bubbles, and even went backward as the motor cranked._____ I replaced it with a compatible electric model rated for the 2.5 - 4.5 PSI that the mechanical pump supposedly put out. I've wired it to the same circuit that the shut-off solenoid is on so the pump runs when the key is On and when the engine is running - power on from the key switch and on a line coming directly from the alternator. I am getting more fuel to the motor now than I was with the mechanical pump, it tries to start better than it did before, but still won't take off._____ I really need to get this thing going - it's sitting at the end of my driveway and winter's around the corner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
