Why not start your own thread, many people will look at the date of the original post and not even read your problem.<br />Just tacking onto a previous post is the best way to get the minimum number of people viewing YOUR problem.

Re: Engines dies on rough sea.

I buy fuel lines rotten and bits of it block fuel flow when the pieces are sucked UPHILL. Lower rpm causes less flow, piece tumbles back down. Once a old piece of line find a vertical line and fitting, the fun begins. Time for ALL new rubbers. And positively run a pipe cleaner thru all hose fittings. Could even be the piece of Teflon tape some people use on gas fittings and barbs. I have found black electricans tape in some flow problems like these. Rarely is a old tank full of so much old crap that finds its way in.

I posted with similar problems early this summer and took the advice to change both fuel filters as well as add a water seperator.It hasn't happened since.
