Just saw your message. Thank you. I do have a stock mechanical FP, placed this past summer. It worked fine for a while then I began having problems starting even if it’s hot and I turn her off for a little. Thus the reason for connecting another electric FP.
I didn’t find a plugged hose nor trash anyplace unless it was hidden in the metal gas line.
The alternator went bad too so I replaced it while doing the tank.
I do appreciate everyone on this site. They’ve been so helpful so often.
Next time I drive her I’ll know for sure if she is fixed. 😉
