I bought a Super H a few weeks ago and have been fighting a fuel starvation problem... runs great most of the time but every once in a while, it will run super crappy. I drained the tank last night and removed the sediment bowl assembly and the drain plug in the gas tank. Ive looked in the tank a few times before and it looks shiny and new in there, no rust. I was thinking the sediment bowl may have a restriction. Nope, bowl assembly is clean. With the plugs out of the bottom of the tank, I could see in there much better and behold, There laying in the bottom of the tank is a plastic fill nozzle from a 5 gallon gas can! It fits over the outlet to the bowl just right to block fuel flow!! A little creative coat hanger work, and now I have a perfect running Super H!!!!

The gas tank is the first place to check for junk. As a flow test might show good flow....then you go to drive it and the junk moves over the drain and it runs like crap. You will here guys say "it runs good in reverse up a hill..." or "it only spudders when i make a right turn" A dirty gas tank really can be a pain in the but. So just like the cap says "buy cleen gas and Keep it cleen"

My 8n used to run out of gas when it got below a 1/2 tank. Pour some more in and it would start up and run fine for several hours then die again.
Ran it like that for years, then one time when I looked to see how much was in there, there it was.. A Full complete MAPLE LEAF laying there in the bottom of the tank. Pulled it out, no more problem.

Had a boat with a fuel problem one time, turned out to be a small piece of a plastic worm in the fuel line....

You just never know.

Good that you found the foreign object. Just goes to show that we sometimes get lazy about covering all the bases when diagnosing intermittent fuel or electrical problems.
