I got a water separator and it was dry. I drain it every trip back for gas just in case. I did pull the bowls and they both were clean & no trace of water. I bought this system because I had water in my fuel from the git go.
Thanks for the tip RCB19
what do you mean by dry? i understand "no water", but the drainable seperator i had would drain water, then gas until the drain was closed. were the bowls full when it started dying?
which dist do you have? the only problem i've had in 11 years of running msd was the result of loose ground connector, so no personal experience with the type of failure you're talking about. i've been -told- they either run or don't, but the loose connection resulted in goofy performance before i found it. i have did have the same type of symptoms you describe back when i ran an hei. didn't paddle, just waited 20-30 minutes and then it would run. real pita trying to figure out which part was bad - it wouldn't fail bench testing, only after running at speed for awhile. parts guy said "but it bench tested ok".. i said "gimme, it's the only thing i haven't replaced". parts guy; "well, let me know if it worked so i know my bench tester isn't accurate".. i say; "if you never see me again, you know it worked"... he never saw me again... good 'ol napa in weaverville 18 years ago.
