    Fuel pressure dropping.

    I appreciate all the replies and while I have tried running on a aux. tank, with no change. That was prior to a lot of fixes. So I will try this again just to see what happens. What do the symptoms look like when the cam or push rod for the fuel pump wears down?

    PVC valve or not?

    While winterizing at the end of last year, I pulled the hoses that go from the flame arrestor to the rocker covers. I accidentally dropped one in the lake.
