I noticed that the fuel line from the pre-filter/water separator to the electric fuel pump had a kink/bend in the fuel line that almost shuts off the fuel flow. The pump is above the pre-filter outlet and has to bend up to meet the fuel pump. I thought about cutting and making the hose shorter, but I thought I would wait and look at some new 3320's. The engine runs fine because it allows enough fuel to flow. But, I can tell that the fuel pump is working against the restriction in the hose a little bit.
I looked at the owners manuel for a reference photo, but the photos in the owners manuel are not photos of the engine that is used in the 3320.
I was wondering about your fuel line on your 3320's and the condition of where the fuel line bends.

I repaired it yesterday. The dealer gave me some hose. I cut the new replacement hose shorter than what the factory did. I can't tell any difference in power., But my electric fuel pump isn't fighting against the restriction in the hose and should give me a longer service life.
