Huh, good question. THAT might be the problem! Kevin will deal with it more today. We had everyone in the shop yesterday looking/listening even his boss even came in (it was during work hours when we were messing with it and Kevin's not a mechanic by trade..oops. All Roger said was "oh what a wonderful birthday present if you get this running") I think he meant, "oh good you can get this thing out of here!"
SOMETHING happened. The car ran great till we filled it up with fuel then it conked out. On the way back from fueling up I had it floored and it was gasping to get UP to 45mph. We've gotten it to run from time to time, but it refuses to idle. If I keep it revved it runs fine, let off, gasp, gag, stop. :( I shot video yesterday...but had to do "bits" so I could send it via phone. I'll compile them into one video and send the link.
I just saw this,I need a hand pump too.Tank bubble,when air was used,did it blow the tank valve off below the car.It vents air,might not leak,but could be source of bubbles.

I checked with a couple of them. So what's it called "technically" so I can find it. He just wants a picture, I guess to make sure everything is as it should be...since he switched them out then found that small gasket missing, which he replaced from the other one.

The hand pumps are available from most of the parts houses if you do not want to grab one from a PAP car. The new ones look handy dandy, but I stick with the old white ones. I seem to only need one when I run out of fuel (twice in 10 years) or when I change the filters.brian from laverne, ca

I've been looking online but can't find any pictures of the hand pump. Anyone know where I can find one?
Kevin's already replaced the one on the car from the other motor. Today he noticed a small gasket missing and replaced it.
We're still getting air bubbles. We got the car running, but it won't idle, it conks out. The last time it died it refused to start again. We had the fuel tank lid off. Gave up today. He'll deal with it some more tomorrow.
