Do you still have the old style primer pump?

Ever remove the fuel tank and clean the screen plus tank?

Ever check the injection pump timing? Timing chain stretch?
Updated primer pump.

Tank has been cleaned and had a new filter a few months ago.

Timing is dead on. Chain has 4° stretch.

Yeah, it shakes enough to rock the car at idle. But it's not a continuous shake like the mounts are gone. It's like someone is standing next to my car and pushing in time with a single cylinder.
