OK, this is a little out in left field..... Is it possible that your fuel starvation problem is caused by: 1. A fuel hose that is collapsing under suction or 2. A run of hose that is just too long for the fuel pump to pull? Either way, an auxiliary fuel pump might help.

Steve, I think that is the fuel solenoid. It's bypassed during cranking, but after that low oil pressure will shut the engine off.

Walter, I think that you are looking at the crankcase breather. There's probably a delete for it, but the KISS approach to things would have you leave it in place.

Epi is a very dense, tropical wood. It doesn't even attempt to float. If you burn it, a thick black oil boils out of it.

It takes a nice oil finish, and greys in the sun.
