BCFer and wife in Puerto Rico

[Tinster]

TrDejaVu (Ian) and the Mrs arrived this morning on Royal Caribbean celebrating her 50th. I'll be meeting them soon
for a private tour and lunch at Cafe Puerto Rico with Wendy.

Seems PR is becoming the BCF getaway of choice these days!

 

[Steve]

Dale, you're getting yourself a reputation as the BCF Hospitality King. Ever thought of opening a B&B?

Ever thought of opening a B&B?

B&B? Would that be a Borg and Beck?

 

[Steve]

Clutching at straws?

 

[DrEntropy]

I'll Beck for one Borg, to go, please.

 

[Steve]

Mmmmmmm, Beck's. I'd take one of those, thank you.

You guys are putting the 'pressure' on Dale & he may 'slip' from the continued 'pumping'.

<span style="color: #990000">Seems to be!! Now---if they'd carry a few repair tools
with them and help get my bucket of bolts street worthy, that would be
even better.

A very nice 6 hours spent with Ian and his wife today.
Breakfast at a local panaderia and lunch at out favorite
burger joint in the Old City. Best blue cheese burgers on
the island.

Ian and Dale took the Crypt Car out for a spin and sputtered
around the hood. Made it back without totally breaking down.

Still a nagging fuel delivery problem. Carbs are starved due
to almost no gasoline flow into them. New Brosky rebuilt
fuel pump, new fuel lines, new fuel filter, cleaned fuel tank.</span>

I'm at a loss. Everything is new, yet no fuel delivery. Just a trickle
into the carbs. Anout enough to hold 2000 rpm with clutch pushed in.

All those fuel filters & other stuff you've put between the carbs & gas tank!!

<span style="color: #CC0000">Tony- all that stuff was gutting during my latest
rebuild of the fuel delivery system. I have one single fram fuel
filter betweem the tank and the fuel pump.

I'd tear out the fuel pump and install another but
I trust Paul's rebuilt OEM over the third work country pumps
that have failed on me.

Like I said. I'm at a loss where to look next.</span>
Less than 100 miles on the total system rebuild.

Are all your flex hoses new?

 

[DrEntropy]

Reason dictates I stay silent...

BUT: Is it ~possible~ the cam is worn so much as to not be giving the pump a full stroke? That *could* account for having several inefficient units.

...the "symptom/cure" equation, y'see...

Has a electric fuel pump been tried.

 

[DNK]

he has an electric back up. He should put it in line an see whats up
