[T3] fuel pump problem?

[jaredkohler at gmail.com]

I had the same type of issue with my 70 FI Fasty.

Pulled the tank, flushed, boiled (radiator shop) and cleaned the screen.

Also...

Had the fuel pump rebuilt and installed new fuel hoses and fuel filter.

Replaced the overflow hose. ISP. 10 bucks.

So far so good.
