Question about fuel tank back pressure

[MCNorris]

Well my ofna started acting funny and when I would give it more than 1/4 throttle it would die, I gave up on it and took it home While cleaning it I found that the deal that the fuel line goes had some off from the muffler so I figured it was dying because all the back pressure in the fuel tank was escaping there when I got on the throttle causing it to run the engine out of gas. Now I put the metal part back on with some JB Weld but I won't be able to test it until saturday and I was wondering if I am right about why it was dying or if I have some more investigating to do.

If the line was completely separated from the muffler, you didn't have a leak, you had NO pressure at all. They will run, but only up to a certain RPM.

It wasn't completely off seperated but the it was just sitting in there, but still it couldn't build up back pressure, thanks Rolex, I just wanted to make sure so I could get out and start pulling civics! lol

When you can pull a Civic with 36 clowns in it, you've got it running good.

Where can you find 36 clowns this time of year?

Just be sure to pull it into a REALLY big, REALLY deep hole and back-fill it.

Don't go digging up my backyard, cause I have no idea what you are talking about.

No, don't tell MrClean, unless you've already disposed of the bodies.
