| It could be the pick up line is cracked in the tank or the pick up screen is clogging up. Does it do it when the fuel level drops below a certain point(cracked line)? Is the primer bulb sucked flat when it acts up(clogged pick up)? |

Install a clear return line through the cab where the operator can monitor it. Submersing the return line in a bucket of fuel is a good stationary test. There should be no air bubbles in either case.
