Hi Alexander,
You mentioned to me on 21 Nov'96 - 18:43:

Sounds like that to me also.

I forgot to add.. we replaced the fuel pump also.. forgot to add that
to my list.  Have looked down the throat observing fuel spray, etc. The
fuel input is fine.. and is not flooding out.  Also thought of vapor
lock but adding heat shields makes no difference.
We'll keep puttering along!! Thanks for replying!
