We Finally Fixed It First Star Up After Full Fuel System Rebuild!

Welcome to the channel! After tearing deep into this fuel system, we’re finally at the moment of truth… In this video, we reinstall the intake manifold and VST after a full teardown and cleaning. Every major component in the fuel system got attention — from replacing low pressure, high pressure, and high pressure fuel pump filters to swapping out all fuel lines. This wasn’t just a quick fix… this was a full reset. And after some struggle (as expected), we hit the key… 👉 And it fired up WITHOUT carb cleaner. That alone made the entire rebuild worth it. If you’ve ever fought fuel issues, you already know how big of a win this is. In this video: Reinstalling intake & VST Full fuel system refresh Troubleshooting the first startup The moment everything finally comes together If you’re working on something similar or just enjoy real, unfiltered project progress — this one’s for you. 👇 Drop a comment and let me know: Have you ever had a rebuild moment where it finally worked?
