"I have a 1986 Supra doing the same thing. How do I get into the fuel pickup line in the tank? I took off the fuel pump this morning. I wanted to use the boat this weekend and didn't have time to order the Carter fuel pump (none of the auto parts stores have anything that will fit), so I took apart the fuel pump and cleaned it. It was full of all sorts of crud. I thought I fixed it. I took it back out, and it still stalls.
So, in summary, do you know how to get to the tank on a Supra. I've had most of the boat apart, but I have never seen the gas tank. Also, where is the fuel filter on the Pleasurecraft 351.
Thank you in advance,
Ian
Original posting below:
I saw your posting about your issues with your engine. I have a 351 Pleasurecraft in my supra, and it stalls on me after I go for about 10 seconds at anything greater than 2k rpm. It started out at 3K, but now it seems to be doing it at anything over 1500 RPM. It starts and idles fine....but it seems to be taking longer to restart between stalls, as if the fuel pump needs time to prime. I had an electrical issue that shorted everything out, so I just replaced the starter, alternator, solenoid, and I had the carburetor rebuilt. When does it all end? I was going to replace the fuel pump, but I wanted to get your input. It sounds like you know a lot and you did a lot of great troubleshooting. I never found out if the fuel pump replacement actually took care of your issue, but your issue is nearly identical to mine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance,"
