Situation:
Had her running last night for the first time since July. Since then a new 23 gal tank, new fuel lines and a mechanical pump were installed. I also in a Mallory marine fuel filter water separator. Figuring there may have been dirt/crap in the lines/tank, I also put in a small fuel filter before the Mallory, just to run the first few gallons through. Figuring that would've cleared the majority of crap out, I would then take the small one out & just use the Mallory.
Problem:
It seems that the pump doesn't have enough "suction" to pull enough fuel through the marine fuel filter. I can get her started by putting gas in the carb. and idling for about 1 min., and then she shuts down.
Question: (yes, I'm a Dwight Schrute fan)
Anyone else (Bill?) that runs that filter set up, have any ideas?
