I had a similar problem with the Cobra some years ago. We too tried everything we could think of but to no avail.
It would run sweet as a nut for hundreds of miles, never missing a beat, then suddenly it would go ape.
In the finish, after twelve months or more of this, I pulled the fuel tank out and cleaned it thoroughly...and out came a waxed candy wrap paper that some little a$$wipe had dropped in.
No more problem after that.
We surmised it had blocked the outlet, when the motor stopped, so did the suction, and it drifted away.
Only to return at a later time/date.
So I feel for your frustration.
And the fuel tank could be a good place to look.
(And I put a filter on the filler-pipe to the tank.)Last edited by johnboy; 12-23-2020 at 07:31 PM.
