Ok, got some more info from my friend.  I haven?t
actually really been working on the car consistantly
so I?m sort of trying to help secondhand.

The carb is actually a SK Racing carb which apparently
is a copy of a sidedraft Weber.  Three nights ago he
and I both thoroughly went through it and cleaned it
and it appears to be flowing fuel well since last
night I had him hold up a funnel full of fuel (yaa, I
know, not the safest thing to do!) and feed the carb
by gravity and he said the car seemed to run fine that
way.

Also, he doesn?t even have a muffler hooked up so I
don?t think there?s any problem with flow restriction.
 That sucker is LOUD.   Crazy loud.

The engine (including carb, etc) was built by some guy
named Skip who it seems everyone knows but no one
knows how to get a hold of.  There?s another rotary
guy here in town (just across the runway from where I
work) that has a *sweet* setup on a tiny little hotrod
jet boat that is just freakin unbelievable.  It has a
blower on it and just screams.  He?s been helping my
friend a little too.

Anyway, I digress? the car had a fuel injected engine
in it so has the fuel injection high pressure pump.
He has a pressure reducer that looks kind of suspect
so his next try is to take the pump out of his other
parts car and try that.  He thinks it?s a low pressure
carb pump but isn?t sure- how can he tell just by
looking?  Otherwise he?s thinking of getting an
aftermarket low pressure pump and just mounting it on
the firewall but then he would have to do something
with the one in the tank.  Suggestions?

Sorry this isn?t aircraft guys but really appreciate
your help.

Joa
