I broke down on my test ride last week
I think I found the problem. I lost the vacuum plug I was using on a T piece on the hose to the petcock and in my impatience I used a screw to block it. But it did a bad job.
I found it using a hand vacuum pump,
Unfortunately we are in lock down again so I will test ride it Tuesday if restrictions are lifted.
The pump is pumping well cranking the engine.
I am thinking of fitting a relay and fuse for an electric pump incase it is needed on dyno day.
I need to rebook the dyno after the lock down.
