starting problems

[iviper123]

my bronco 2 when i got it had a fuel leak, but it statred great and ran great,

now that i have fixed the leak and changed the filter, it takes a lot of cranking to get it to start, with the hole in the fuel line before it started right away with almost no cranking?

make sure you put filter on the right way, it will flow both ways but is only meant to flow one way. learned the hard way on my moms:icon_thumby:

yes +1 with flow direction of the filter.

ALso... pull the small vacuum line off the FPR (fuel pressure regulator), see if some gas dribbles out of it...if so, replace your FPR

do i pull the vac line off when its running or shut off?

I discovered mine was full of gas while it was not running...
