I will check the battery ground - thanks, Bugs.

Hi Rick....I did update the connector with the new improved style 2 fuel pump changes ago so don't think that's it but thanks for your suggestion anyway. If I have to change out the fuel pump again - I'll be sure to double check the connectors.


FYI, she fired right up this morning perfectly and has ran great so I dunno what happened yesterday. Will see what happens and keep you posted. If it is the fuel pump (again) I hope it holds out until it cools off some - I don't mind doing that repair but it's so hot out right now I'm in survival mode.

Cheers everyone!
