It could be alot of things. The pump could be getting hot. The power supply to the pump may be inadequate. The pump may be mounted to far from the outlet. Fuel may have sloshed away from the outlet of the tank, and let some air get in the line.Timmy give me a call when you want to work on it I’ll help yah out.
