Funny how nothing ever changes…
The fuel pump relay was clicking, and I tried bypassing the relay and powering the pump directly, but it wasn’t working. I think it’s the connection inside the tank. I remember building it going “this seems rinky-dink.”
I re-did the internal connections , and it is now “robust.”
Old and busted “hot” connection for the fuel pump (I’m using a Walbro 450):
I removed that gray connector, and crimped/soldered/heat-srunk all the wires to their respective pins, and 12ga wire to/from the pump. There should be no problem now.
