wow, thanks guys. My doom and gloom personality has me think of everything but the obvious. Im thinking crank shaft seals, that the engine is leaking compression out the seals and it cant supply enough pressure/suction to run the fuel pump at higher RPMs. But, in fact the fuel connector was sucking air now, that I think about it, I had trouble priming the bulb and heard pressure leaking out of the fitting, I switched tanks and didnt give it another thought.Thanks Jerry, the obvious doesnt occur to me, I appreciate you pointing that out in big, bold type. Im gonna give it another shot on Saturday. I’ll keep you posted.Thanks to everyone who took the time to post comments. You where all very helpful.
