As many of you know last fall I purchased a 1963 Daytona R2, After less than a month of driving I put it in winter storage. Every couple of weeks we would start it and let it warm up and run for 20 minutes or so, we did the same with our 1956 Golden Hawk.
Yesterday we went out to clean and prepare the R2 for a trip to the Geogia State Meet,(trailer, not driven) it took over 5 minutes of cranking to get gas to the fuel filter bowl. Since I have had the car if we let it set a few days the fuel filter bowl is empty and it takes awhile to get fuel to the Carb, not as long as yesterday but "some" time. I'm thinking I have a weak fuel pump and it lets fuel seep back in the line as well as it is weak in pulling fuel from the tank when dry?
Your thoughts?
It is an addiction!
