Ok guys - here's an update but still need your advice. So, I decided to bypass the booster/HP pump. With throttle wide open, it would try to fire just a little better than before. So, I tried at half throttle and barely hits. So, against my will, at half throttle I gave it just a tickle of ether. She fired right away but started to stumble so I gave another tickle and this time she kept running! Whoo hoo!!! Ran perfect, not even a slight miss. So, I let her run there about a minute, then tried to let her down to idle. She died at around 800 and would not restart on her own. So I repeated half throttle and ether, and she took right off. Let her run a little, then tried to goose her, very slow response(always very quick response before troubles) but would come up. So, I let it run a while, and then shut it off, not knowing if I could cause any damage to the HP pump? Also, I noticed that the top radiator hose was pretty hot for that short of a run and the bottom was still cold, not sure what's going on here? So, need advice on what's going on with the HP pump and I'm assuming the low pressure is what's causing it to not start and not idle?
