Re: Starting issue
fuel injection hose
https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NBHH358A fuel injection hose clamp https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7051227 frame clamp https://www.grote.com/electrical-con...-steel-clamps/ for a pre pump filter you will research and come up with a recomendation to go with something in the 100 micron area pre-pump and another post pump filter of the 40 micron rating. you gotta decide whats going to be needed for your set up. there are choices here for the type of fuel you use as far as what media is inside the filter. if reg pump gas is all, no ethanol added, then a plated steel housing is fine with paper media, with ethanol (E85 gas) in the fuel you will want to look at something with a stainless housing and steel mesh filter media. ethanol eats up the paper (cellulose) filter element and will send particles of that down the line to plug up your pump and/or your carb inlet. your off the shelf inline filter is prolly gonna be about a 10-15 micron filter, with paper media and a plated steel housing, just a heads up. cheap gas these days is often made with a lower grade of gasoline and then the octane level is brought up with some sort of alcohol, which isn't compaible with some fuel system components. |

Re: Starting issue
sorry, i was prolly writing as you posted your last. I just wanted to mention that you can easily go down the rabbit hole of what you tube says or whatever. in relation to what a high performance carbed engine would run and what you ACTUALY need for YOUR application, there may be some discrepancy. remember there are lots of vehicles with sbc carbed engines driving around with off the shelf parts at economical prices. again, that rabbit hole. yes, you can spend a lot of money on the fuel system but you can also spend a lot less and have a good running reliable driver. you might be able to find a filter with a 90 degree outlet but then it probably wouldn't be readily available.
make sure the tank is clean make sure the lines are clean have the lines retained well along the frame make sure the line connections are leak proof from tank to carb run a pre pump filter-off the shelf have the filter supported well run good quality fuel hose and clamps make sure the carb is clean and set up properly make sure the pump is doing it's job properly-volume and pressure tested-able to hold pressure post pump make sure the engine is in a good state of tune make sure the exhaust is adequate enjoy |
