    Alright gents Im at a loss here...

    I upgraded fuel pumps and switched to the venturi style setup at the same time (which was a serious pain in the ass to get fitting right). So, after all my efforts to get the pump in I cant get it started. I hear the pump prime as its supposed to but there is no fire. Did you guys have to change anything fuel wise right after upgrading to get it started? The lines are all still on and everything is how it should be so I have no idea where to even start troubleshooting this.

    Thanks for any help guys,

    Jarred

    tubes still appear to be on fine... there a way to leak test without pulling the whole thing apart again?
