Keeps dying

[umtnman]

I have a '89 4.3 v-6 chevy omc. I cant run for a while then it will stall. Wait a few minutes or less then it fires up. If I run it at a slower speed it doesnt seem to stall out. My thought is that it is temperaly running out of fuel. Thanks, Chuck

Ayuh,... You're probably Right,...
Start at the Tank,+ work your way to the Carb....

Re: Keeps dying

Have you herd of the ball plunger fitting just out of the tank going bad? Took the line out this morning and cleaned junk out of it. I also removed a little bit of junk out of the screen at the carb. New filter. Took tank out of boat this winter so all new gas. I have taken all fuel lines apart and blown air through them. Which part of the carb would case this prob.? Runs great then dies.

Ayuh,... You skipped over the fuelpump, it's probably full of Crap too...

Just Rebuild the carb, it's Also probably full of Crap...

Re: Keeps dying

A quick check for the vent issue is to run it without a gas cap and see if it improves.

Re: Keeps dying

The vent hose was replaced this winter along with the fill hose. Can you clean out the fuel pump or is my only option to replace it? Wil be rebuilding carb later this week after I get the rebuild kit. Thanks
