Best get it on a Dyno to make sure it's not leaning out . Anyway Process West surge tank and pump going in tommorrow

Was driving home exited outta the roundabout and gunned it. Had it in manual mode, 1st gear was good, hit second and it felt like it didnt have any balls, changed to third and I was like WTF was that, changed to 4th and gave it a bit more and it felt normal again.....I have a walbro 341 which is only a few months old, so I dunno about a pump failure... Maybe I got a doggy one??BTW my tank is nearly full so it wasnt surging... Edited 08/05/08 07:27 AM by MiKa
