Hello,

We emptied and cleaned the gas tank, oil changed, new fuel pump, new fuel filter. Since then it now stalls out at 3/4 tank, before doing the maintenance it was 1/2 tank before stalling.

That sounds funny that it stalls out at 3/4 of a tank after u did all that work and it stalled out at a 1/2 tank before.did u replace just the little pump it self or did u replace the whole big module with the fuel lines and all that?also when it stalls out will it restart up or do u have to wait to start it?let me know.
