Yep,
@monstar always added a strong technical spin to threads but for some reason, his posts sometimes seemed to get up some people’s noses and the thread would regress into a shite storm.
I particularly liked Monstar's take on solving the
VF fuel tank access issue though I’ve yet to apply such a fix to my VF (maybe when the pump inveriably fails). It's a pity the jc links seem dead.
As for OP’s incline start issue, of possible related interest may be this
VE thread. Monstar indicated in this
post that having tank at least half filled was one way to avoid pump failure due to overheating (which seems that main culprit according to him).
@RiCeY also made a
post within about charing of pump connectors and replacing the fuel pump harness along with new pump.
One particular
post of interest was Monstars statement about fuel pressure being 200Kpa or less along with tell-tale cutouts on left hand turns and inclines being an indicator of pump failure to come. OK, the thread was w.r.t. VE but who knows, maybe its a common VF issue as both share zera platform and especially so if VF has same pump as VE (but i don't know). In any case, that VE thread is linked for those interested in going down the 3 page rabbit hole.
