Reply to my Ford Lehman quitting to the worst of times.Your polishing system should have a filter.
Since you mentioned by passing it, maybe a valve is in wrong position?
Two coincidences on one trip.
After installing new filters and lift pump - which made no difference - I installed a new Racor filter. Appeared to solve the problem but not.
I will still getting very small amounts of air which of course would cause it to stall out.
Long story short. Mechanic found the problem.
One of the small metal clips that hold fuel lines together was loose and over 45 years had chafed one of the lines so that a pin hole was letting air in. Have no idea how long it was like that because the clip was blocking the pin hole until it got rough Then finally slipped out of place exposing the hole which couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Who would have thought ? Purrs like a pussy cat now.
