Default Figure this one out....

On Thu, 30 Aug 2007 20:42:16 -0700, penned the
following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

What can anyone tell me about "Timer base linkage"? I was reading
other related posts ( seems 1000's have had this same problem! ) and
someone said to check the timer base linkage.
I can idle all day long and it gets fuel, but will die at WOT unless
I pump by hand. I almost think that the pulse isn't strong enough.
Next will be all new lines from fuel pump to carbs. That's all that's
left now to try...


As a professional mechanic, let me assure you that trying to find the
most obscure and arcane solution to a problem is a fools errand.

At this point, you KNOW that the bulb is collapsing. That is clearly
an indicator of vacuum from the bulb back towards the fuel tank vent.
Timing has NOTHING to do with that.
