The filter i took off. But seen how it was all gommed together, thought i should take a pic. Doesnt look right at all. But, with all the given supplies, if could not get it to look any better anyways.
And the connector that looks burnt is burnt. That sucker got hot and melted the plastic around it. When i looked at it after pulling it from the tank, that terminal was just barely hanging onto the blade terminal. So, my guess is bad connection, caused resistance, and then melting (You can see my contact and shrink tube i just added.)
I bet also it would cause an intermittent pump failure. Depending on the level of fuel in the tank, and how hot that terminal was getting (how long the pump was running).
I bet that was a head scratcher for the last guy.
Anyways, im just gonna cob this bitch together the best way i can see. That upper plate is adjustable, so i will clamp it down lower.
I took the lines off the tank, and hit the key (with this old setup still installed) and i could hear the pump run for about 2 seconds, priming, and no fuel would shoot out of the tank. ? That was weird. So i said screw it. I bet a new pump wouldnt hurt anyways.
I also ordered a fuel pressure test kit, just incase this whole thing starts getting retarded.... I know my luck.
