WTH?
It slowly died on me yesterday.
Took the glass bowl fuel filter off and the paper cartridge was caked in rust. That must have been the problem. Cleaned it real good, no rips or tears. Cleaned surface it mounts to and reassembled. Now does not want to start straight away. When it does start (with throttle at full speed) it runs rough for 4-5-6-7 seconds and dies. It does get up to full 2500rpm, but then slowly dies. Runs for just that short time.
Could have some debris gotten into pump? Paper filter is intact. Could a spec of something gotten up to injector? Could the fuel pump solenoid be going bad (why would it start at all).
totally stumped.
Fuel pump is mounted is part of the main motor casting. Oil pump is mounted to that fuel pump casting. Not like it is something quick and easy to change.
Any ideas or input?
