Its a simple T25 BM / FMU setup. I have run this setup for 2 years on my old KADE without problems till bearing took a crap. This engine has been running good for 3 months before I parked it. Its healthy at 183psi across all four too. I have checked for leaks a few times now and have not found any. plus wouldnt a leak cause a lean reading not a rich one? I appreciate the help guys. keep it coming ---

is this the first time you have started it since taking it out of storage? cant help but notice you fuel gauge is sitting on E. when diagnosing keep it simple. i would put some gas in it, change your fuel filter and check timing. also temp sensors cause similar issues to this. ---

Sounds like you’re not using anything to tune it other then the fmu thats a bad idea. easy way to find vacuum leak’s is take off one end of the hose that you’re testing and blow some smoke through the hose and see if its leaking out the other end. ---
