This problem continues to plague me. I've eliminated everything from the system that I can. Right now I'm running off a 6 gal portable tank to help troubleshoot the problem. So far, I've rebuilt all the carbs, rebuilt the fuel pump, eliminated the Suzuki fuel line connector by replacing with a straight through double ended fuel barb, and eliminated the water separator filter.
The problem arises after about 4-5 minutes of running. It feels just like I shut the throttle down. If I reach back and pump the bulb up, I can hear the cylinders come back in and I can take off again, that is until the next 4-5 minutes when it repeats.
I don't know why it's running out of gas like this. The motor starts great, takes off great, and runs up to 5500 rpm @WOT. What am I missing ??? Do I need to replace every fuel line on the engine or is it something else ??? I feel it is definitely fuel related, or more properly, lack of fuel.
Thoughts and advice ??????? The engine is a 1986 DT-85
