thats the long and the longer version there.

Had a bad primer pump........now thinking Microcracks on the "clear" lines around the IP. They are color of maple syrup.

definately something keeping enough fuel from reaching it to maintain more than 45mph for extended periods. Sucking the main filter dry at faster speeds. Either fuel restriction of a air leak.

Damn was so reliable and good running up till now.

Was able to get my Alda seal cap off without destrying it or cutting it. Got lucky I guess.
