Ok I am not out of the woods yet but I did discover one issue affecting gas delivery. My fuel line just before the pump was sliced/marred a bit and you could feel the air pulsating out of the spot. I did manage to remove and replace thinking yes this is it. BUT, it stalled again. So I checked all the fuel lines that I could see without lifting the coach and they read SAE 30R7. By Goodyear, installed by Cinnabar. I saw no leaks. However, my inline filter by the tanks was looking weak, the hoses were barely pulsating. I jumped in the coach and switched the tanks to non main tank and I saw gas moving through the filter much better. The lines were also pulsating pretty good everywhere accept behind the in line filter. I have an secondary fuel pump by the tanks. Anyways, the coach didn't stall out as quick but since the tank was low on gas I switched back to the main tank and boom stall within 10 seconds. Any ideas on issue(s)? The fuel selector switch was new in 2006. Thanks community!
