Default RE: Islander

I flew mine (maiden) after a few days on working on the engines finally today i worked on them for the last 4hrs more I don't know if because they're upsidedown or the fuel line is too long from the tanks, one kept on quiting and with the help of my buddy we got them to run some what ok! Well it flew for about 30sec and the starboard engine quit!! i reduce power and turn around and land it, and the first thin in my mind was to conver this thing to electric. some one suggested a pair of check valves on the fuel lines!
I'm open for any of your tips!!
