i started to notice occaisionally from a dead stop my b2 would bog down and fall on its face when trying to accelerate then after a moment would be fine. so i replaced the fuel filter now 3-4 weeks later i went for a drive and filled it up with 3 gallons of non ethanol 91 octane and 5 gallons of regular.( it was a little low on fuel so i figured it was pickin crap up out of the tank from using seafoam)
it ran decent after that. I drove around a while longer and shut it off in a parking lot for 30 mins. went to start it and it would run for 2-3 seconds then die. eventually it started and i went for home. it was low on power and popped out of the tailpipe.. died 200 yards from my house.. luckily neighbors where outside and gave me a push. got it home and poked the shrader valve on the fuel rail and it had fuel pressure and could hear the pump but engine wouldnt run... the next day it starts and runs fine.
Could it be bad fuel or possibly my pump starting to give out? not sure where to start checking stuff.
