I second the fuel pump, do you mix your own oil with your gas or does it have a oil injection? For your wallets sake I hope you mix your fuel and gas.

Yes , I do mix my fuel and gas! Would it be possible for the fuel pump to work fine for a short distance then act up? After it acts up and I let off the throttle, I am able to take off again with no problems for a couple hundred more yards then the same thing happens again!

Sounds like vacume problem in the fuel line. Is the bulb collapsing at all? Had one on backwards once...yes I admit it!

There is a slight difference in the line and bulb assembly, on the old one the bulb was a couple feet down the line from the motor and then there was about 6 more feet or so to the tanks, and on the new one, it is opposite, with the bulb a couple feet from tanks and the long run going to motor, may switch it and see if it helps. BTW, acts up the same with line on either tank! Thanks to all of you for trying to help me out on this, Ideally appreciate it!

I replaced my fuel/oil pump last year. And mine was acting just like you are describing how yours is acting.
