Re: The saga continues - Sputtering, loss of power when accelerating
It's definitely looking like a sediment issue in the tank/lines. I took the fuel pump off (or, mostly off as I left it wired up) and blew some air through it (sadly, I don't have an air compressor, so when I say I "blew some air through it" I'm being quite literal) and what came out the other end was full of scrud.
After hooking it all back up, I was able to get a nice sounding rev out of the engine again. I've not taken it for a test drive yet, but I'm somewhat optimistic. I still don't think it's getting as much fuel as what it should, as the inline filter before the carb isn't as full as what I would like. But, at least it's a start.
Either way, I'm thinking it's going to need the thank cleaned (or replaced). I'm not keen on having this issue crop up every couple of months/weeks.
