just an update on this motor I got the fuel pump right got the water pump changed out. Took it out on the lake for a test run today. It started well idled good. Full throttle it still feels like it’s not quite wide open ….smooth but just lacking a little. When I click back from WOT. it ever so slightly loses power till it gets to a certain point then acts like it’s starving for gas. I didn’t have anyone with me to adjust the high idle. When I got home I was checking the fuel lines. I pumped the ball up and could hear air coming out my fuel line coupling going to the front tank (the one I was running off of) I ordered a new male and female, could this cause it to sick air and starve for fuel WITHOUT causing the engine to stall?? Just puzzled at this point. I’m going to an AOMCI wet meet in Nashville next weekend so hopefully can get some help adjusting the carb out bit just wondering about the coupling leaking and what problems this would cause thanks
It's a jungle out there.
