lately my motor will start ok...and I am off and running, but about 5 minutes or so out...the motor starts to stutter and dies...
I go check the bulb and it is weak...so i pump it back up... and she fires up and we are off...and it doesnt happen again..
happens each time i start up after a long off spell.
not the end of the world
lots of gas in the tank
the vent is open
the tank is way up front...I have a bulb up at the tank and one right before the engine..i have a seperator 2 feet before the last bulb...
I have a two way valve up front as well to feed off one of two tanks, one at a time...
this issue wasnt prevelant earlier this summer..
could I have debris in the tank maybe???
it only does it once on each start after a long time of not running( longer than maybe 30 minutes)
I didnt try to pump the bulb when it started to happen..
I did once put it in nuetral and try to rev it..and it still dies...
so it isnt a cold issue...seems to be a fuel flow....
thanks
