Dick,
Grab the rubber fuel lines and check to see if they are soft or
hard as rocks outside surface area. If they are original equipment rubber
lines I would say the MBTE gasoline fuel additive (thank you California)
has attacked the inside of the rubber lines which become soft and goey.
Fire up the engine and a few minutes later the soft inner part of the
rubber fuel lines start closing off the supply of mogas for forward
locomotion. Other thought is check the fuel tank with a strong electric
light for SAND in fuel tank.
Heres hoping it's just fuel lines, there easier to replace then the fuel tank.
Jim
