Whale, I'd find the SOB that sold you that heap and let him have it!

Nothing to feel bad about! If they ran perfectly all the time we'd have nothing to b itch about!

Willy.....just and update in response to your inquiry on my other post. I have been away on vacation and motor has been untouched. On Wednesday I went by and checked a few things. I noticed the primer bulb all sucked in but after sitting 2 weeks that might be normal?? Anyway, I put on a new one. I also checked the vent line and it seemed OK. I checked the inline fuel filter that is on the motor and cleaned it. It is basically a conical screen that filters out particles where the fuel line enters the motor. There were a few bits in there but nothing that would obstruct fule flow. I took her out for a short run and it ran fine for about 20 minutes but it is tough to know as the problem had cropped up both times after running for a while.

Sounds like you are taking the right approach, good luck
When you run next and if you do experience the problem again go right to that fuel bulb and see what it is doing, squeeze it and see what it feels like.
If it feels like a strippers silicon boob you are good there, if it feels like a Sister Gilda tuck in the belt boob you know you got the problem with the bulb or a vacum type leak in the line

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Whale, the bulb shouldn't ever be sucked flat, sounds like it is either the bulb or the one way valve on top of the tank.....either one will be an easy fix.

I have no idea what the problem is, but I do like Willy's description !!!

I've been told I have a gift Carl, not sure what Ozzie meant but that is what he said.

Ran fine today......went to the beach, then tubing, then fishing (fluke). I was running with the new primer bulb and just the Racor filter. The old filter I removed and took home the whole unit because I could not get the filter canister off.

Managed a couple keepers and just finished some deep fried deliciousness (fish, chips, onion rings). Can't beat fried fish only a couple hours after it was filleted!!

And, yes, Willy, you do have a gift. I will never forget the answering machine story...
