I figured it out. I've had some problems with my Thunder Tiger pro46. It would run fine for about 2 minutes and then loose power/stall???
It gave me just enough time to get off the ground and realize there is a problem and come in for a nice "practice" deadstick[8D]. I replaced all of the fuel tubing and the rubber tank plug-No help. Replaced carb-no help. Switched from Robart plug in fuel valve to fuel dot-no help. I took it out on Saturday and tried to fuel. I got to 120 pumps on the old six shooter and the pump is loading up[:-]??? No fuel came out of the muffler fitting instead it came out of the carb [>:]. I took the fuel tank out and realized that the presssure tube was getting pinched against the fire wall. The engine was getting less and less fuel and finally dieing. I put in new brass tubes and bent them about 70deg so the tubing wouldn't be sitting against the fire wall. Problem solved
