What did videos ever do to you?

Da Yoots won't really understand... you may or may not... but what the heck, I'll try.

Bottom line: I can absorb info 10x-20x faster by reading a well-written description, than I can by watching a video and hoping the creator will get to the point. Videos tend to range somewhere between frustrating and maddening, so I've given up on them.

My guess is that, and I should check this to confirm, the fuel pressure is fine between the distributor and injectors because it really does run flawlessly on start up and then trickles down into not running good.

Your symptoms speak to flow issues more than to pressure issues, but there's really no way to guess. Gotta measure.

I figure a mix of both might give people the best chances possible.

Building the Best K-jet Fuel Pressure Tester: What Would You Pick?

I finally found the 245T that I've always been wanting. Of course, it runs like crap. I am very fond of the thrifty TBricks resourcefulness. That said, I am in this K-jet business for the long haul, so I want to be able to measure pressures very accurately. I don't want to buy a second fuel...
