As the title says, I have a 96 SPI with some sort of a fuel issue. It ran fine two trips in a row in June but then I let it sit for all of July and today it would not start. It will run if I put premix in the air intake, but it won't start or run on its own. Watching the fuel lines, as I'm trying to start it I can see an air bubble pulse back and forth in the supply fuel line to the carburetor. This line came off and some of the fuel drained out, that's why there's air in it. I've ordered a fuel switch/petcock, but is there anything else that I should be looking at first? All original fuel lines have been replaced, and I don't know the last time it had a carb/pump rebuild. The fuel gauge is not working but I haven't tested the baffle yet. Thanks in advance.
