"I have a 2001 Chapparal 216.
"I have a 2001 Chapparal 216. It has a 350 w/ Bravo III. Last week, took it to Table Rock and had trouble with what appearred to be a vapor lock issue. After running at temp, motor would momentarily start, then flutter and stall.
The motor never ran hot. Shortly after several lock-up's the impeller did frag and was replaced. It did it once more after that.
I've been told to run blower all the time, run premium all the time, etc.
I can usuually get it started by loosening the fuel filter, topping it off with fuel and dumping a little fuel in the throttle body. It runs great the rest of the day, ussually.
The last time, I lossened the fuel filter and heard a surge of air. Could the fuel system, gas cap or failure to vent be an issue. What do I do?"
