I found out why
Has anyone else experienced this problem if so what did you do about it?
As I posted last week my engine would start with fuel pressure about 38 psi run for about a minuet then the fuel pressure would drop to zero and engine would die. I would re fire engine and the same thing would happen. Tonight I pulled the adjustable fuel pressure regulator off again and after inspection notice the center shaft that is supposed to direct the spring load to the seat was bent. This was causing the sealing disc that pivots to walk off the seat allowing for no fuel pressure regulation.
Has anyone else experienced this condition?
thx
