(assumed out of fuel because gauge on Empty)…..adding fuel, it only took less than the 13 gallons required if empty.  So why did it die if it had fuel? Is that where this is going?  Ps, I see that 743 SN 16125 and newer have a rubber/plastic tube and pickup screen in the tank. That tube may be checked or broken off inside tank. The older 743s had the pickup integral with the sender (metal tube and screen).there may coincidentally be an issue with the fuel gauge/sender system also. Like Tazza said, I'd pull the sender and ohm it while moving float slowly, looking for consistent smooth increase decrease in ohms….no dead spots…no jumps.</blockquote>
