I would like to thank all those suggestions regarding the above problem that I have been suffering from over the past 3 years. I new the problem was air bleeding into the fuel system. Finding the leak was the big thing. I changed various hoses and the filter/primer unit, all to no avail. Then I read about bypassing the thermostat/heater and found a split in the hose to the same. I replaced the hose and bypassed the thermostat at the same time. Snoopy(my car) now runs like a new car, I reckon 0 - 30 mph is about 20 seconds quicker and it runs quieter and smoother, GREAT!!! Finally I would like to thank Dannyboy for his suggestion that I look at this site and suscribe to it. Once again GREAT!!!!
