My fuel pump crapped out and sprung a leak along the gasket so I replaced it.
When doing so I replaced the Rube Goldburg lines and connectors with new lines and connectors to simplify the setup.
I also rebuilt the carb and replaced the needle/seat and accelerator pump, as well as the bowl gasket.
Here is the weird part, it fires up and runs well but will suddenly stall and it will require choke to get fuel again.
I am pretty sure I adjusted the float pretty well (but maybe not) !
It seems like the new pump must be working because it fires up and runs (with a LOT of choke at the beginning).
Here are the more nitty gritty details :
Fuel line from pump now runs directly to a TEE at the carb, bypass line branching back to a TEE where the tank runs into the filter (bowl type), then back into pump.
Seems like a fairly standard arrangement but maybe the TEE should be between the filter and pump ?
Should there be any restrictor in the bypass line to assure higher pressure directly into the carb ?
Not my first rodeo but this one is puzzling, I plan to temporarily remove the filter from the bowl (easiest first step).
I guess the next thing would be to check the float (maybe it is sticking closed or adjusted improperly).
I appreciate any additional insight provided.
Thanks,
Neil
