The soft lines can also separate the 'inner' lining from the nylon reinforcing and the outer shell. The inner lining can suck shut under enough vacuum, leading to fuel starvation and stalling. restarts after a few minutes but then continued use under higher vacuum causes it to stall again.

Baffling, as all the soft lines 'look' fine, but are gummi-bears inside. Replacing them might solve your problem.


This is what my son and I think happened. The previous owner used ethanol-based gasoline, so that is a factor, too. Monday, I shall jack it up, replace the filter and semi-kinked rubber lines near the tank that someone installed (poorly), doing it the right way, and try to start it. My cautiously optimistic guess is that it will fire right up.
