My engine runs than kills, the bulb goes soft and when pumped up sounds like it is pumping air back into the tank. I changed the conection between the hose and tank cause i found a cracked O ring. Tried a different hose, it ran fine then started the same problem. I'm thinking water in the carb before I go in to them, wich would work best Sea Foom or B12 Chemtool MEK.
Water in carb wouldn't cause that problem. If it sounds like air going back to tank it would be check valve in bulb bad. Still sounds like you have a air leak in your system somewhere. Pull cowl off and pump bulb. Look for air bubbles or fuel leak around all lines and connections under cowl around motor. Also recheck that oring inside connector that attaches to motor.
As far as Addative Seafoam is best.
Wow you were right on top of this THANKS i'm checking that now. Hope to see you at D'Arbonne Gathering.
Seafoam
Seafoam only because I’m familiar with it, and because Cray and G said so.

I was hoping someone would say it! These products are designed to keep fuel FRESH! A fuel/water seperator will remove water.Quote:

No chemical "removes" water from fuel. Startron is >95% naptha. Not particularly safe for older engines with older rubber seals and lines. Naptha was used extensively in the production of rubber back then. Makes those compounds very soft. All of the "fuel stabilizers" on the market are geared more toward separating the consumer from their money than anything else. Use ethanol free fuel and try not to let fuel go unused for more than a year.
I also use non-ethanol gas in everything but my car and trucks in addition to Seafoam. It may be over kill but it seems to work.

Thanks for the info I guess I used the wrong terminology to describe what Startron says it will do. Label says it changes molecular properties of water so it can be burned with fuel. I only use 100% gas in everything I own I do add a little Seafoam to all fuel tanks. As for separating consumers from money it is what keeps the nation rolling although doing so fraudulently is a bad thing. Hope there are no lawsuits. In the future I will keep my opinions to myself.Quote:
