Has anyone had problems with fuel starvation on the Zenoah 260PUM engine? I read in the engine instruction manual that the fuel tank should not be more than 100mm from the carb (Walbro WT-644). On my FSRV boat the tank is about 350mm from the carb. To get the engine running well I have to have the High speed needle 2¾ turns open, low speed needle ¾ turns open. 2¾ on the H needle is much more than the recommended setting and a lot of the time the boat just stops, to restart it It needs a bit of choke to get the fuel back into the cylinder. There is always fuel in the primer bulb but as this is on the return side of the carb I am not sure if this means anything.
I wanted to try pipe pressure on the tank, but how is this done with the WT-644 carb as it has a fuel return line.
