I have a Catalina 27 with an atomic four. For the last few months the engine has been dieing after 30 minutes. It starts back up after about 5 minutes. I pulled the coil and held it to the engine block and it seems to get spark.
I've recently installed a Moyer Marine fuel system kit with the Racor filter, the inline filter, electric fuel pump etc. I checked the fuel pickup line and removed the wire mesh at the end of it. I've removed the gas cap in case a vacuum was being created in the tank. One thing I've noticed is that the fuel system gets very pressurized. I installed an inline hand pump before the Racor and it fills with pressure to the point where you can't pump it by hand. Is this normal? Does anyone have any other things that I can try?
