3—But  for the 5mm fuel line (which I can acquire) I have everything 
necessary to put  on a pair of rebuilt Solexes. I figure if I can’t get the FI to 
run nicely by  Friday, I can spend the weekend installing the carbs and 
getting used to them.  Yes, I know carbs present their own issues from vac leaks 
to sticking chokes  to clogged jets and whatnot else, but maybe I can at 
least get to Madison on  them and then get a good look at the FI by 
dismantling as little of it as  possible.

So if I try option 1 and there’s no change, is option 2  viable? 

Any reason not to try option 3? Heck, it might even get me all  the way out 
to Oregon!!

I wouldn't think twice about this option, and it probably would get  you to 
Oregon and back without any issues. I'd look into a low pressure electric  
pump, like a Mr.Gasket 42S pump, as they work good with both Solex carbs, as 
 well as Weber car carbs (ICTs). I only mention it, as the  rebuilds and 
todays mechanical pumps leave something to be desired,  and can quit without 
warning.
