As suspected, your fuel system can't supply enough fuel for much more
than idling. A quick test would be to connect another fuel "tank" to the
pump inlet and see if that helps. You don't need to drive it, just do a
before and after test of fuel delivery as described earlier in the
Bentley. Measure how much fuel comes out of the return line in 30
seconds. Bentley says 500 ml, the size of an ordinary serving bottle of
drinking water.
