Kinda warm in your neck of the woods - vapor lock maybe?? Fuel filters are cheap.

Reddog.. Yes its HOT/HUMID redface.gif redface.gif redface.gif I didn't think about the vapor lock.. What can I do to fix that? Wrap the fuel line with insulator? Thanks..

Yes - make sure that the lines are far away as possible from heat sources - no you don't have to move to the coast smile.gif I mean in your engine compartment! Change the filter if it has been awhile and make sure it is not laying on the manifold. that kinda stuff. You have a return line (fuel) correct?? same goes for it.
