Hey Bruce,
Did you check the main fuel filter? That sounds a lot like what happened to
me. I've since installed a see through in line filter before the fuel gets
to the main filter. That way I can look and see what's going on before I
remove the main filter. It's saved me a lot of time and money so far.
Best Regards,
Ed
