Fuel tank uptake tube working

Thanks to Mike at A+ mobile marine, the Golden Rule fuel system works again!

We finally discovered that the reason the engine died at seemingly random times was because the tube in the fuel tank was broken, so we were sucking air when the fuel level went down below the break.

We considered drilling and tapping a new hole in the top of the engine,  but that solution would have been difficult and prone to problems.

Mike surmised that due to our small engine and the need to provide less than 1 gallon per hour of fuel to the engine,  we could live with a smaller diameter tube placed down the center of the old tube.  24 hours later, he showed up with a stainless steel tube coated with ceramic, welded to the appropriate fitting.   He installed the fix and the engine started up with no issues!!

Thank you , Mike!
