The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop ignition problem, will start, run, then dies out both at idle & on the road

As you say Birge, thought it was the coil, but replace the fuel line and it all ran fine.
That is what I meant about a fuel line vacuum leak.
The pump sucks, but if there is a leak anywhere between the pump and tank, it will suck air and not fuel..........instant shutdown !
As I said before, process of elimination.
Do a thorough check of all fittings and lines. Even solid steel lines are renowned for splitting and develping hairline cracks over time. Just because it is steel, don't presume it is failsafe!
Keep up the search, Doc Bob.
