Speaking of the next issue------------my BJ8 has a brand new fuel pump 
installed and everything was going perfectly---then a few weeks ago I started 
getting fuel starvation (at times).  I'd blip the throttle and yank out the 
choke and it would run normal again ---for a while.  Then start sputtering and 
coughing---and I'd repeat the process.

I changed the in-line fuel filter and moved it to before the fuel pump and even 
added another filter just before going into the carbs.  I even opened the fuel 
bowls and checked to see if debris was in there.  Didn't see anything. 

The fuel pump seems to have its' normal click frequency.  I thought all this 
would have solved it----nope--it is back.

Years ago I pulled the sock filter off the intake line as it was clogging up 
and causing a similiar problem.

Ideas?

thanks

 Hello all and thanks for all the replies on this.  It has been a bit 
exasperating.



After extensive investigation I installed a new pump - problem solved.  I 
suppose there was something internal going on with the pump like maybe cracked 
diaphragm or some probs with the one way valves.  Well now to sit back and wait 
on the next issue . . . . . ....
