I have an issue that's come up.
The fuel primer /filter seems to lose prime after sitting about an hr or so.
Back story is I drove it about 250 miles, when I shut it off it sat about an Hr. when I went to restart it fired and ran about 30 seconds and died. I checked the fuel primer pump and it was soft, so I pumped it up ( I was in the desert 112*) I thought maybe a heat issue. It re fired and ran another 30 seconds and died. this time I re primed, re fired, and held the throttle at abot 1500 rpm for about 20 seconds. This time it stayed running and as long as it was running it was fine.
I probably re started it 15 times before getting home from this trip, it did lose the prime each time, but it seemed like if I started it and held the rpm's up a little it would re prime and keep running.
Right now I'm leaning towards the filter assembly/primer housing.
But does anyone have any insight?
