psfred,

I'm pretty sure I understand what you're saying. If I had put my handheld vacuum pump on the shut off, I should have seen the linkage move. This verifies shut off operation.

I did think about loosening the injector lines, but I was afraid it would be dangerous to have fuel spraying all over.

Thanks for the critique. Life is about learning. Some lessons are cheap and easy, and others aren't.

Have a great day,
