Alright, again for some reason there are no threads about start up problems for the rb20 or I'm just not trying hard enough.
If there is a thread - please link me to that thread. That would be very appreciated.
So here is the story :
I replaced my spark plugs, FPR, and recently installed a boost gauge.
All connections cleared, she fired up real nice. *Rev* *rev* *rev*.
Hmm. Okay everything is good. Gauge accurate. No leaks. Running fine.
*Drives down a few meters*. LA LA LA LA LA - *Engine dies*. SH*T.
So I was thinking : Hm. Maybe I ran outta gas.
*craannnnnnnnnk* ... *sputter*. Okay maybe I did run out of gas
*go to gas station, buys gas, siphons into tank*
Okay lets try again.
*Craaaannnnnnnnnnk* *vrrrmmm-----*sputter*... dies*.
!
*Crannnnnnnnnnnnnnnk* *vrrmmm---*sputter* (sh*t ; *taps throttle*) vrmm.. vr.. *sputter*... dies*.
Alright so this is the problem for those who are confused as hell :
-Recently installed a boost gauge, FPR, and spark plugs. Engine ran fine for 30 minutes or so, and then I drove down a few meters and the engine died.
Now it won't start up again.
Checked under to see if it were a busted fuel hose, but there is no leak of fuel.
Checked connections / hoses / pipes - all good.
Put in two gallons of gas. Nothing.
Adjusted FPR multiple times - nothing.
Fuel pump is NEW from Walbro... I hear it go *whrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* but then the engine always sputters out.... like a rattling noise kind of.
Cranks, sometimes fires up, but doesn't idle and always dies out.
What could it be? Any help would be nice, thanks.
