47-55.1 Starting issue

[dsraven]

sorry, i was prolly writing as you posted your last. I just wanted to mention that you can easily go down the rabbit hole of what you tube says or whatever. in relation to what a high performance carbed engine would run and what you ACTUALY need for YOUR application, there may be some discrepancy. remember there are lots of vehicles with sbc carbed engines driving around with off the shelf parts at economical prices. again, that rabbit hole. yes, you can spend a lot of money on the fuel system but you can also spend a lot less and have a good running reliable driver. you might be able to find a filter with a 90 degree outlet but then it probably wouldn't be readily available.
make sure the tank is clean
make sure the lines are clean
have the lines retained well along the frame
make sure the line connections are leak proof from tank to carb
run a pre pump filter-off the shelf
have the filter supported well
run good quality fuel hose and clamps
make sure the carb is clean and set up properly
make sure the pump is doing it's job properly-volume and pressure tested-able to hold pressure post pump
make sure the engine is in a good state of tune
make sure the exhaust is adequate
enjoy
