Drove about 30 miles around town this morning - mix of stop & go plus some country roads. The performance on a hot day is a very nice improvement. I had one minor incident of hesitation while accelerating from a stop. It felt like 1/2 second of fuel starvation. The hose does have a pretty tight turn in it that may have caused it, but that was the only issue, so not going to sweat it for now. An hour later I went out for an errand. When I got home, it dieseled for about 2 seconds upon shutdown. Afterward, I insulated the new fuel hose - even though that's probably not the issue. Fuel line is insulated from the pump to the carb completely now.
So thumbs up for the Hatteras trip. I bought a 1 year beach permit I'll pick up on Sunday. If all goes well this coming week, I'll post some pics from the beach.
