I still need to fix mine. Only looses prime after sitting for the weekend.
But every monday I can count on it firing right up, then blowing a ton of white smoke, then choking out. I end up haveing to crank the hell out of it.

Whats even stranger, is that only one time, after sitting 5 days, have i had to go under the hood and reprime it. Most times after a few cranks it will find the fuel it needs.

That kind of makes me lean towards shot rubber lines.

 

Well, I figured I'd tie this up if anybody was keeping track. I originally replaced the two rubber lines at the back of the eingine and that didn't help any. So yesterday I replaced the short 1/2" line between the fuel heater and the lift pump. While I was in there I took the fuel strainer off the heater and cleaned it and oiled up the gasket just incase. One of the two seemed to be the cause of it because it fired right up this morning. Hopefully it continues to do so! Thanks for all the suggestions, guys.
