russell, have you checked the return line at the rear of the fuel tank? If the return line is pinched somewhere or blocked at the fitting,the air bubbles that are in all systems cant escape and build up in the pump until the engine dies. By opening up the system at the filter head, you give the air a place to escape and it will run till bubbles build up again. Good luck, Davids
