Clogged Fuel Pump/Pickup:


MFI / CMA revisited ... The fuel tank should be drained and removed [remove the fine bronze filter screen at the outlet fitting] ... and cleaned & sealed with a slosh/seal product such as what is commonly used for light aircraft fuel tanks. Blow out the fuel line in the tunnel with compressed air ... to see if any rust particles are still clogging the fuel flow! Replacement of the line may be necessary to achieve the specified fuel output of 900 cc - 1000 cc in 30 seconds!
