Re: Fuel Pressure Issues

OK, carbed engines need to be fed some gas while starting, hot or cold. Some engines need a little more, some a little less depending on carb, ignition timing, hot, cold, and ambient temperature. I'm not convinced you have a problem, maybe it's your new set ups personality. Maybe try just a little gas while cranking hot, maybe try gently putting pedal to floor and leaving it there while cranking, some where in between? Does your pump have a return line back to the tank?
