So there is no fuel in the tank. It's literally bone dry.
All k-jet lines were drained, dried and stored during the restoration even the distributor was drained.
I've been turning the key "on" to test things. Naturally the pump primes for a second, but its priming nothing but air.
Imagines surprise to find a weird gas leak on the FV lines yesterday (it was NOT a good day yesterday if you haven't noticed). It was definitely old gas. It looked like it had leaked under the larger fuel line sheath. I cleaned it up before I took a picture.
18507
I'm going to trace it better later, but I find it odd that the pump was building pressure with air and that the air was enough to cause a nearly completely bone dry system to leak. There would have still been traces in the system, say in the fuel filter, but still..... weird.
Perhaps ill pull the rpm relay for future testing.
