Is your fuel tank valve screen also
restricted at the tank inlet? Has the
tank been cleaned or checked for dirt?

Re: were do i ask a question about motor problems
It's a fuel issue for sure probably a bit of rust somewhere. I would suggest if this persists getting your tank done to stop further rusting or exchange it.
there aint nothin like it
