I have a 1996 E150ELEDB that is giving me fits and need some advice please. This motor had a new powerhead installed last fall and the carbs were rebuilt at the same time. The VRO has been disconnected and I pre-mix my fuel. The issue I'm having is the motor cutting off like it's running out of fuel. I have installed new fuel lines (OMC) from the tank to the motor and replaced my fuel filter and water seperator already. I have installed new QL78YC plugs set at .030", checked my spark with my spark tester set at 7/16" and have a good blue spark on all cylinders, and my compression is 110-115 on all six cylinders. The motor will crank fine and run for a while and just loose power like it's not getting any fuel. The bulb stays firm. Usually the motor will crank back up and run for a short while again before doing the same thing, but sometimes it's hard to get it cranked back up. The funny thing is sometimes you can run it at maybe 2500-3000 rpm and it will run forever it seems like, but go on down on the throttle and it will die. What should I do next? If you think it is a fuel issue, what kits would I need to order to rebuild the fuel pump (fuel side only) or anything else I might need as I would like to have anything I might need on hand? Thanks for any advice you might give me.
