Thanks for letting us know. Those of us who post suggestions like to know if they worked out. Fuel system problems are numerous today as gas is reformulated and adulterated with alcohol. If the government s successful in increasing alcohol content to fifteen percent and above, we will be in bigger trouble with old cars and small engines, etc. Too often, fuel system parts being sold have been on the shelf for a long time, and cause more problems than they solve.

also took sometime to see if i crank the engine if to see fuel comes out of my line going to carb. i crank engine over about 5 revs and no sign of fuel coming from line . looks like pump bit the dust as well. well i guess for 3 years trouble free thats pretty good. on the brighter side i guess ill be saving some fuel in my tank:-) i did fix the first fuel leak now i see that the jet seal is leaking into the barrel 100 horse running wild This message was edited by 46fordnut on 6-22-11 @ 9:52 AM
