I do not do short journeys, I drive like I have just stolen it :lol: & always add a little ZX1 at each Oil Change (every 1500 miles) & pre-mix 300-1 with Stihl 4 mix oil.

Got my fuel lines all finished up.. Went to fill the surge tank with my low pressure pump and prime the system. Low pressure pump is completely seized :cry: . I should have just got a custom petrol tank made to suit EFI :evil: :evil: :evil:

This was originally going to be a cheap quick setup to get me running. So I can get a drop tank made at a later date :lol: .

I was using the OEM pump haha. Got a Carter 4600 (Carter black) on order which should be more than fine for the surge tank/swirl pot
