Title: Fuel pump issues
Post by: Rattiac on October 25, 2020, 11:34:48 PM
A few weeks ago I drove the 32 to work for a few days.  Noticed it wasn't starting right, seemed to flood immediately.
So I didn't pull the choke or touch the gas. Still took 15 minutes to get it running.
Popped the hood and saw the pressure was at 10-12 psi. Normally it's 5-7psi .
Guessing the  mechanical pump is bad. Well, it's 7 years old. .
Probably gonna add a regulator inline.
