hello this is Michael Di Sisto with a first post (thread?)
After finding out about my fuel tank corrosion and getting a mechanic to take apart and clean the carburetor and hooking up an outboard tank to circumvent the old fuel supply, I still had the motor stall after a short running time.(again)
After attending the May workshop and purchasing a new carburetor, which I installed and got to start right up,it also stalled after some minutes.
In between cursing my fate,I read a handout from the workshop, which mentioned a hand primer to overcome possible fuel pump cavitation?, resulting from air getting into the fuel lines
A little outboard tank conveniently has a hand primer which I used to maintain pressure and lo and behold the motor did not stall.
Can anyone tell me:
1. Do I simply have to find where in the (all metal) parts I have a leak to solve my problem?
2. Who(what) is the likely culprit?
Suggestions of any kind are welcome
