not sure on the pressure but i am running the carter 4070 electric fuel pump that weber recommends. Does anyone think it could be a weak coil in my hei distributor? Sometimes it starts fine sometimes not. I can turn the distributor ccw and get it to start but it doesn't run smooth. I...

No regulator. Fuel pump is a carter 4070

My 79' 2f is dying under load. It has a weber 38. With light, steady throttle, it revs smooth. Took carb apart, cleaned with no change. Filter is new, fuel pump is new. Along with the dying out, it takes a minute before it starts up, but once it starts it idles great. I can see fuel squirt...

Fuel pump is ok. Replaced anyway. No change. The fuel is backfiring through the carb. If it it too lean, is it just a case of mixture screws? If so, what would cause the adjustment to get so out of whack. It ran great the last time I drove it - although it was four plus months ago.

i would put a toyota internally regulated unit in. straight bolt in

choke cable?

definatley go with a reciever hitch and brake controller if the traier has electric brakes. easy to do and worth it. hauled the 40 and bobcat with a f150. (not at the same time) not that bad. as with towing anything else, take your time. Dan

i guess it's about time i put in my $.02, i'd have to say a new tub is in order when the p.o. had aluminum foil to keep the elements out. :frown:
