Do you run ok with a mechanical pump, or did you have to fit a low-psi electric?
Went to get the car back today. Runs great under 55mph. Tons of power - 3k-5.5k especially is super strong. It runs like a dog above 60. I got 7 miles down I-95 before it died on me (so if you were around exit 27 at noon and saw a red TR6 at the side of the road, that was me).
I'm still having the (original) fuel starvation symptoms. I got the mechanic to drive it on I-95 at speed and he now sees what I mean, so at least he doesn't think I'm insane...
I have a new TRF mechanical pump on the engine, but it looks like it might not be flowing enough. I'm looking at adding a 2.5 psi electric in series to see if that helps. I can't use the aeromotive in the trunk - it puts out way too much psi and there is no regulator on the market to take it from 45psi to 2.5...
What would make me feel better is hearing that I'm not alone here and someone else has had to do the same. Otherwise I'm a bit stumped as to why me, unless the stuff in the trunk is making a bottleneck.
I want a season driving on the carbs before I do anything else. I figure I'm owed at least that much...
