here lately, I'm seeing a lot of fuel pickups give problems. I'm finding the plastic pickup tube reacting to fuel and either becoming brittle and breaking off, swelling up and sucking air at the top fitting or completely falling off. Check/replace your fuel pick up in the tank, replace the anti siphon valve and fuel line while your at it. Use A1 rated fuel line, and I use the Sierra 18-7777-1 stainless filter housing with the 18-7945 10 micron filter

We will have to meet up on the river, I'm 1.5 hours from Norfolk but grew up on Lafayette river, family still living in the river. I have an 87 v20 I'm working the kinks out of. Will be towing the boat down there next week to put on lift so I can repaint my trailer. Best of luck.

"Check/replace your fuel pick up in the tank, replace the anti siphon valve and fuel line while your at it."
I just replaced the old medallion fuel sender this past weekend. Last year I did replace the fuel line. I still have darn near 60 gallons in the tank and did just reseal down the dang hatch. But - I will put this on my list. FWIW, I am running a filter/separator before the fuel pump. I do not think I have a fuel issue. I won't know until I get it in the water - running on muffs wasn't an issue (running at home has never been an issue... only after being launched.) I really don't recall what was at the end of my pickup tube. Perhaps nothing? From what I do remember that pickup tube looks like aluminum or SS, but was kinda hard to see through the sender hole and fuel. ARERHODES: Certainly let's meet - as I have no idea where to go boat around here. Also, I'll take just about any of the homes around the Layfaytte. SWMBO is constantly on the real estate sites stalking that area hoping for some crazy deal. Hopefully I can get from the haven creek launch to the NYCC without stalling or having to tie up at someone's dock to poke at the gremlins. :D
