what you're sayin is it will idle but it wont accel or rev up when its getting low on fuel? my fuel gauge stops at 1/4 tank. maybe you're actually running out of fuel. or, the pick-up filter is plugged up are starved cause its not positioned properly. try a fuel filter but id drop the tank to be sure.

thanks for the advice, unf i dont have the facilities, tools, money or brains to take my tank off.  i got it down to about an eighth of a tank last night before it started to slug out.  i am going to try running a cleaner through it, and see if that helps, and aside from that, i am stuck driving it till it becomes more problematic.  thanks alot.
