More bugs to work out… I drove it about 7 miles and it turned off. It felt as if it ran out of gas. Showed 1/4 tank. I pulled the fuel bowl off and emptied it out and reinstalled it. I cranked it and it filled right up so it is not likely a supply problem. It ended up starting so I headed for home. A mile later it turned off again. Did this all the way home. The body shop had this same problem when they first got it running. I will have to dig into it deeper and figure out what is going on. When it happens it sure feels like a fuel problem and not completely sure it is not. I will try to run some tests tomorrow.
