Sir,=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I'd start with the fuel system.I'd repla=
ce the fuel filter and perhaps even drain your tank. It may be stagnant fro=
m sitting a long time.The tank itself could also be causing the clogging is=
sue.Classic dirty fuel filter is loss of power and bucking going up a hill.
Cheers,
