Thanks.
Sounds like your plastic fuel lines are leaking, or sucking air. Replace these.

To replace the Secondary fuel filter, you will remove the "STOP" valve on top of the fuel filter with a wrench. Replace the fuel filter and put the valve back on....To replace the primary, disconnect the plastic tube on top of the black housing (next to the secondary fuel filter). Put in the new fuel filter, tighten the fuel filter bolt and attach the line. Make sure you order the O-Ring!!!!

I think your problem is a leak somewhere
