No pics as it still isn't roadworthy. I just got it running at around 2:30 this afternoon, but I think it's running out of fuel as it slowly dies after about a minute after starting. It restarts fine, but slowly dies again. Starting at half throttle gets the engine up to about 1200rpm then slowly dies. Either the fuel line is too restrictive or the lift pump in the injector pump is weak. I'm voting for weak pump and am going to get an electric inline pump tomorrow.
