With your battery fully charged, did you check the voltage at the motor (both directions) as suggested by Mike32 in post #2. Due to the weight of...
I had another thought regarding the lower system pressure - I think that while it can be influenced by the number of shims fitted onto the...
Wow - that's gorgeous!
I removed the fuel distributor today, removed the primary pressure regulator/plunger and looked inside that chamber - it was completely clean. I...
I did order that same one but couldn’t get it to fit over that “shoulder” that’s about 2” up from the end of the pipe. So, I ended up going with...
No misunderstanding - but thank you for making sure everything was clear :)
I'm fairly certain I didn't ever measure any of the fuel pressures prior to the problems starting. Of course in retrospect, this would have given...
Ok, so after a small delay I'm back with the promised update. I removed the fuel pressure plunger (as noted in post #39 above) and the smaller...
Hi Ron, Do you still have some of these remaining? If so, I’d like a pair, please.
Thanks for the hint about searching for fuel "sock" - I would never have thought to use that word. Amazing how many posts come up with that small...
So my saga continues. While the car now starts and seems to idle reasonably well, it struggles when under any load and quickly stalls. I...
I replaced the fuel pump and the accumulator in October 2019, so hopefully all is still ok with both of those. In May 2022, I replaced the hose...
Ah, now I get it ! So my pump was running when I was initially able to hear it faintly - with my ear close enough to it. The reason it wasn't...
Yes, the sound is quite distinct and easy to hear. I didn't realize it was that loud (without the engine running, of course). I took a short...
I disconnected the hose that runs from the fuel pump to the accumulator, disconnected the blue switch at the fuel distributor and turned the key...
Ok - thank you. I'll advise of the outcome.
This morning I completed the WSM check for operation of the fuel pump (as noted in post #22). No fuel flowed from the return line outlet exiting...
ok - will give that a try in the morning
Alright - so I've checked the old spark plugs for spark (via connection to ground) and they are sparking. Even so, I replaced them all with new...
Ok, so I have brand new spark plugs here already. Tomorrow I will install them and see what happens. I will also run through the fuel pressure...
