Hi,

Please check the list below the causes of the problem.

• debris inside the vapor separator tank, called the VST. There is a fine screen on the bottom of the electric high-pressure fuel pump inside the VST that is probably restricted and won't allow enough fuel to pass through for higher power output.
• Check the primer bulb on the fuel line.
• Check the fuel-water spin-on canister and the small inline filter under the cowling.

This are the common cause of the problem. But mostly the problem is the VST. If ever this answer or resolved the issue, please don't forget to click on the GREEN ACCEPT BUTTON right below my response.
