Percolation? Heat soak? Don't drive during summer??

You dont need to buy a fuel pressure gauge most auto parts store will loan you one. Fuel pressure is the basis for any type of fuel system trouble shooting, sure there are all kinds of wife's tale's and home cooked options to follow and perform. I prefer to take a more stepped scientific approach by using real fancy tools like gauges and meters LOL
Disagree all you what I still want to know want the fuel pressure and possible the fuel flow rate when the OP's **** is hot.

AJ as far as the fuel issue I think we are on the same page just attacking it from 2 different angles - same result.
Plane and simple if there is no fuel in the carb it is no going to run.
I to do not measure fuel pressure at idle.
Hell it could be both fuel and ignition, stranger things have happened.
Thank you for giving me permission to disagree all I want...:D...
At your service....:D...
He's running an old came with the car fuel pump... Without having to rent anything buy anyting unplugged tubes or do any of that stuff he can simply throw a couple tablespoons of lawn mower gas in... that's not old wives tales that's just simple A1A car knowledge...:rolleyes:...
