[T3] dual carb power loss & fuel pressure

[Brian <vwfye@frontiernet.net>]

<x-flowed>peter,
i have been thinking a bunch about your car's lack of power. today, 
while addressing a bogging issue in my car, i found something that you 
might check.  my car had great power, except for a split second while 
flooring it.  it was two things... 1st a pin hole in the fuel line under 
the car and second i over tightened the clamp on the fuel line to the 
carb.  at WOT, the fuel supply was being diverted to the pin hole and 
seeping at the clamp!  as soon as the pump overcame these, the car 
jumped!  also, i find that you probably only need the 3.5 psi you are 
getting.  i run a stock type 1 pump on the 2332 with dual 45mm dellortos 
with LARGE jets.  at 3.5 psi, i have plenty of fuel for liftoff... 
provided the fuel line isn't leaking...
Finally, the strangest thing is that the line didn't show signs of 
leaking at idle.
