    It definatly has fuel pressure, it flooded out due to cranking without starting twice when I got some gas in the tank. What I want to know is how it could be running so perfectly you'd think it were brand new right-off-the-showroom-floor one minute, then have a busted cam gear the next just due to running it out of fuel. Would that show up on a vacuum test assuming I can get the tester to seal or is there some other way of checking without tearing the front of the engine apart?
