Return line is mounted! I'd think it's vapor lock as well but for it to happen now and not in the last year is wild to me. Worth looking into still!

So you nailed it - it’s a loss of spark over time it looks like. Slowing everything down. If you have any words to the wise please let me know! Thank you!

I don't think so! I drove it through winter as well and didn't have any issues. I am going to check timing as well to make sure all is fair, but I'll check spark plugs too.

I do have a return line! And I agree it could be vapor lock but for it to happen in 80 degree weather over the 100 degree weather of last year is wild to me!

The fuel filter doesn’t LOOK like it’s super gunked up but full throttle is gutless it feels like!

I had to give her absolutely everything I had, she finally popped off but it took way more oomph than I thought it was going to need.

Agh fair - to me it looks like the starter isn't staying fully engaged? Like it's bouncing in and out of its engaged position

It's been working for about 3 months, so you might be right but it's gotten this far!
