[QUOTE="SumDumGuy, post: 387293, member: 12459"] Pump the fuel bulb when it starts to die and see what happens. I have a long run fuel line and a pump that seems to be a bit weak, and when I pump the fuel bulb after sitting at idle speeds it is soft and takes several pumps to "reload." Now that I know it does not leave me trying to fire the engine up and getting angry. :D I believe at higher RPM's the length and/or pump weakness is overcome by the more rapid pulses. You should also return the low speed needle to a more "normal" position before you begin the fight. [/QUOTE]
