Scott,
Yes I have a feeling it's fuel related - but I am not sure exactly why -
it's been running great. Recently I dropped the tank and replaced all of the
cross over tubes and rubber gommets and such with a quality "reseal" kit
from one of our vendors. I replaced all the fuel line from the tank to the
small plastic line (everything int he engine bay was done a couple of years
ago) and the return line to the tank is new as well. All new stainless high
quality fuel line clamps too. I also removed the crappy plastic pre-filter
and went witht he later model post canister filter.
I do think I'll start with that filter though as that was an off brand from
the local FLAPS - so maybe it was junk.
