A friend bought a 85 300 DT wagon. He clean the fuel tank and screen replaced all the hoses and filters. Blew the fuel lines out.
He had the timing chain replaced and the valves adjusted, went and picked it up. He was driving it home he had gone about 30 miles when he lost power and it was running rough. Up till that point it had been running like a top. I was talking to him when it happened. He had also replaced the fuel primer pump.
He noticed that when pumping the primper he was getting bubbles around the bolt for the spin on filter. So I took the bolt with new o rings off of his sedan and replaced it on the road. We could not get the the wagon to fire.
I noticed that the primer pump did not seem to stiffen like mine does when you pump it. The fuel tank was full.
When you remove the line from primer filter it would bubble back through the filter.

Any thoughts???????????????
