Aloha Gentlemen,
I fueled up my Mustang, and it started on choke...and then died again...Grrrrrr . So with a brain storm...I choked it again, got it to start...then pulled the coke out a bit...and it kept running. As long as the choke was pulled out a bit...it would run...but no where near full power. I did this several times and now I'm convinced that the engine is being starved for fuel.

Any idea's guys...?

So now I'm going to change out the whole fuel system...fuel tubing, filters and fuel tank...and see what happens. I'm stumped and the only other thing to do, besides taking out my shot gun and putting the engine out of its misery, would be to send the engine back to Red Wing.

I've got some work to do...

Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
