My project is coming along well but found a glitch a few weeks back. Running on the stand flat out it would die of fuel starvation in 30-40 seconds. After reading what I could see online with many different slants and cures a plan occurred to me. I took the tank and line off one of my snowblowers. I ran it off that while directing the line from the pump to a gas can. At idle it pumped nicely but stopped when throttle opened wide. My suspicion was aimed at the charcoal canister and removing that draw on the vacuum system showed very little change in the fuel flow wfo. The real holdup over the Winter has been trying to strip the paint with citrus remover. Well after finally reading the directions it all made sense. Remover works best at 65-85 degrees whereas my shop is kept a 45 during the cold months. Oldheimers strikes again!
