After a long diagnostic testing of the electrical I couldn't nail anything down. I took it for a hard drive and it still was having some issues. The next morning I entered the garage and there was a strong smell of gas everywhere. It took an hour to find that there was a loose fitting at the fuel pump where a fitting was actually too short for the line connection to the carb. I couldn't tighten it due to the fitting rubbing on the corner of the block and I am assuming that the engine builder may not have gotten tight originally. I wonder if the lean condition described in some posts on the fuel side could have been caused by this fitting being loose and allowing either air to be sucked into the fuel flow or even reducing pressure allowing not enough fuel to get to the carb. Just found it and haven't been able to get a longer fitting to put into the pump to allow the fuel line to be tighten by clearing the block. Could this be the issue?
