    Its a long story going back to last summer when i dropped 2 cylinders bad stator i have had the stator replaced replaced both power packs and all four coils just so i would not have to worry about them they seemed to all be the original parts very old i was told by the mechanic that the check valve in the bulb was bad so i replaced the fuel line and rebuilt the pump one diaphram and one gasket i just dont know what else could be starving it for fuel im going to pull the stand pipe out of the tank to see if the screen my be stopped up any more suggestions
