Fordy....this is crazy as hell ! I replaced the pump with a new one and also new needle valve and seat. Changed the power valve with a new one I got in the rebuild kit.

It fired right up.....ran perfect for 10 minutes and no probs. Came back in 20 minutes to take for a short ride. WILL NOT START UP AGAIN !! The regulator shows 2.5 psi and I drained the glycerin from the gauge also.

New carb is to be here tomorrow. I'll be working on it again, but in the meantime I'll check out the power valve as you suggested.

More drama, but it's not my brakes anymore ! They are solid !

Thx.....Mike
