    Series 3 Red top pattern fuel pump pressure

    Photos of pump? Not familiar with red top pumps. Do you use a swirl pot or tank? I suspect you might have a EFI pump. Get the standard RRC pump and see what happens.

    Fuel tank location for genuine series 3 military

    starter motor questions
