AD-21 fuel bleeding problem

Post by essence »

My AD-21 runs great for a few minutes after bleeding all the air out. Then dies. There is a large filter installed, roughly 6" diameter. After the engine stops I have removed the filter from it's canister and found it virtually empty, as if fuel isn't being drawn out of the tank to replenish that going to the engine. I have removed and replaced the delivery lines and made sure there are no air leaks. Possible lift pump diaphragm failure?
I also installed an electric pump after the large filter to aid in bleeding, but have read that if the diaphragm is damaged, using the electric pump will do damage. Help!

Could be clogged fuel pickup in tank, worth a check see. Thanks, Mark.
