So after a lot of trial and error i think the fuel problem I am having is a slow siphon on the saddlebag tank.

I have to keep the car above 7/8 of a tank to do anything with the car. It seems that the 340 pulls all of the fuel out of the baffle when the car is around 3/4 or lower and only pushes a few drips to the motor after that.

If I let it sit, the car drives well for a while then starves for fuel.

Anyway to make it siphon more fuel over faster?

Does it make sense to pump from drivers side to passenger with lower pressure electric pump?

If there is no other option, i'm going to sump both sides of tank and and use 2 044's.

Thoughts?

I guess i was confused... These said fuel overrun, I thought that meant there was too much fuel going somewhere...

So this mod allows more fuel to be siphoned over?
