What the heck is inside the fuel "central swirl pot"???
My intermittent fuel issue has led me to disassembling and cleaning the entire fuel system - oh joy.
The swirl pump has something rattling inside. How strange! It is welded closed - inspection requires whacking it apart.
It also doesn't look like much of a swirl pot, as the entry points are at the top and on the center line. Wouldn't a swirl pot be better with the entry points on the sides and have the pipes aimed against the side walls to induce swirl??
Perhaps my problem could be caused by whatever is rattling around may be plugging the outlet??? I guess I'll build another (improved) one and see. But I am curious if there's some hidden function within the darned thing..
