I will look into that.I wiped it with toilet paper in the past too see if there was anything seeping.Yeah I know it seems funny but it works.

I am going too give the fuel lines a good flush and check the filter at the tank. Also, check the fuel pump pressure.Not sure if the pump is coming on when the key is on too prime just another small thing too check.Will do this 1-17-08 at work. And give the results I no everybodys dying too here LOL.Later......
Well checked everything out lines were good except for one that I replaced. Checked fuel pressure reads 2.4 to 2.5 psi in motor compartment. This is with the motor running.Voltage was 13.65v. Also,checked the pressure directly off the pump.Read the same.Pressure seem a little low compared too books specs 2.6 to 3.3 psi.Just too be sure I checked the Air vent cut off valve it's perfectly fine and so is the glass fuel filter free from leaks.Running out of ideas.

Did you check the lines coming from the charcoal canister? If they are cracked and leaking they could cause a problem. Also if the pump is not putting out enough PSI, the pump may need to be replaced.

No can't say I've checked those It's funny you say that was'nt there a post about pressure escaping when the fuel cap is released. Reason being when I open my cap it definitely does that..Also, the pump read 2.5psi brand new, I pulled it out and the screen was clean.It's only 2years old.I think there might be something wrong with the 2 way valve.and my charcoal canister may have a crack.
The cap is meant to hold pressure inside, mine does it as well. All though this only happens in hotter weather, which is explainable by the heat on the gas. Which two way valve are speaking off?

The one at the top of the gas tank.Besides that and the hoses that come off the canister.I've done diagnosis on all the control units vaccum and electrical.Only thing I have'nt tested in addition too these couple things and it's a big one is compression on all cylinders and a leak down test. I think for the hell of it I'm going too change all the ground wires for new ones tomorrow.
Update the choke heater just died today. I went too start it in the morning and it died as usual but then would not restart without my foot on the pedal slightly. Checked the choke plate and it was fully open. I guess I'll have too check the linkage and the power feed and see which one it is.
It looks as though the choke linkage fell out coming off the choke plate cotter key was missing. I also noticed that it does'nt close completely mabey the coil has lost some tension or it needs adjustment. Man I knew I should have put screws back on that cover plate dam. Well live and learn.
Still dies after intial start problem remains.

About this post did his problem ever get solved? Also, russiankid said someting about the slow choke heater.Is that the vaccum operated choke?
