OK – sorry for the long delay in replying – I was traveling and not with the boat :).

So to answer some of the questions – the motor was a complete overhaul – totally torn apart and put together piece by piece – using 2 additional motors for parts.  I did not do it but it was as extensive as it gets.  A fuel pump was added and I have added some pictures since I have no knowledge of what it is.  I have 2 tanks but only 1 fuel line.  I have switched tanks but am experiencing the exact same behavior.

From my check tracing the lines, everything looks very tight – the motor only has 15-20 hours of run time since the rebuild as well – so things look brand new.

Hopefully this gives a little more context.  One theory of mine is a float adjustment – but not sure there is one..

Thanks again everyone!
