Bog when secondaries open

<< < (2/2)

von:
I had a somewhat similar problem once where it would run normally except on long uphill grades where the engine would bog and eventually die. Turned out to be the nylon sock on the fuel pickup in the tank would get clogged with debris and severely restrict the fuel supply. After sitting a few minutes the debris would fall off and it would start and run OK til the next hill. I had the sock removed and an in-line filter installed and no more problem.

JohnM:
Thanks for the reply Von. Starts immediately after, no problem or need to press accelerator.

It doesn't appear you're running it hard enough to suck the bowl dry.  May be flooding out, I'd try lowering the float to see if it improves.....Cliff
