    25 yr old tank. Or a cell designed for race applications. It's your project was just saying. Plus with option of running a smaller cell than the tank itself.

    Have you downloaded the manual? It will help a lot in figuring out what each part/system does. One spark plug must not be firing. Check each one with it running. Easy way disconnect when it is off start and see if it is missing. repeat until miss found.

    I have a manual in the shop, it did me no good. Its not spark, we have spark on all 4 cylinders. We think it might be a fuel issue.

    People post this a lot but it's quite hard to determine that with any certainty. Usually when people say this, they mean that the car is running rough. What do you mean?

    I mean after the car has been running for a minute or two, you can still hold your hand on the manifold from cylinder 1. All the others are hot enough you cant touch them

    run the motor for a minute, stop it and pull the plug, if its wet you have fuel and prob no spark.
    just because you have spark when you stick a plug in the lead and earth it to the motor, dosnt mean its in the cylinder.
    a few hundred psi of pressure changes things a lot for a spark plug

    Got 2nd place in the heat race and the main. Lead 5 or 6 laps between the two! Pretty proud of this car.
