Model number is E70TLCEM. Engine was running fine for a long time, except for the rough and shaky idle, there was no known problems. Until now no major servicing was done to the engine. When I bought it in 2008, I've made over 200 hours with it.
Today I went for a quick run and after 2 minutes of driving the engine died, from 4500 rpm bogged down immediately to a complete stop. Afterwards every attempt to start resulted with difficulties to maintain proper idle and the engine would just bog down. I assumed that there was a problem with the fuel delivery as the primer bulb was soft.
I've disconnected the VRO pump, and checked all the hoses and reconnected them again with new clamps. I've changed both the fuel filters and tried starting again but it would work for 2 - 3 seconds and bog down.
I think that somewhere - somehow the engine is not getting fuel and when I try to start it, it's using only the fuel that went to the cylinders from the solenoid valve when I push the ignition key. When I continue pushing the key the engine somehow starts working but that's just because the solenoid valve is putting fuel in the cylinders.
Any thoughts?
