Re: Engine Starves for Fuel When I Hit Second Gear

Thanks for the responses everyone. I did a tear down on the carb after the engine rebuild and thoroughly squirted every orifice with carb cleaner and compressed air. So I know there's nothing in the carb causing this. I spoke with two mechanics over the weekend, one said I may have something blocking the fuel line and the other said I could be sucking air from a leak. The first thing I'm going to do is figure out why I'm not getting enough fuel pressure and I bet that will solve everything else. My plan is to take the gas tank line off the pump, put on a short line and stick it into a can of gas and see how the pressure looks. I'm heading out the door to do it right now. I'll be back in about an hour with a report.
