Well, it sure sux to start your adventure like that....There's not much in Prescott, Affinity RV is there but I haven't heard good things about them. I'd check in the office and see if there's a good auto mechanic in town. It's a gas engine so checking it out should be pretty easy. Now a few questions:
1. Do you have a mechanical or electric fuel pump?
2. Do you have a water separator installed?
3. Where is your fuel filter? Is it the small in line one in your fuel line? or the one inside the fuel bowl? If it's the inline can you see any fuel in it?
4. Can you follow your fuel line down from the carb and tell us how close it is to the exhaust headers?
If it's a dirty fuel filter that's a simple fix. There's a NAPA in town that should be able to get you the correct one. That's a DIY.
If the fuel line is too close to the header/exhaust you could be suffering from vapor lock. Again, a simple DIY fix. Get some muffler wrap from NAPA and wrap the fuel line.
If you have a water separator, make sure there's no water in it.
Lastly, if you have an electric fuel pump, you should be able to hear it click when you turn on the key. They're easy to change out too. If it's a mechanical one, they're pretty easy to change out but more work. Easier to get to from underneath. Good luck and update us on your progress.....Dennis
