Danny,
Did you read Russ' post to a different topic:
Hi Gang,
I will share a fuel related A4 problem and the satisfactory resolution.
I had a condition where the A4 would quit, most often after slowing down from a
run of hours. Very annoying when it happens while entering a marina or crowded
harbour (i.e.: Prideaux Haven, Desolation Sound). No starting until cools a
bit. I went through the coil troubleshooting, no luck.
It turned out to be my BLACK fuel filter housing installed opposite the carb,
but more importantly the exhaust manifold. It seems the radiant heat from the
exhaust manifold was hot enough to vapour-lock the fuel supply when I slowed
down. I made up an aluminum foil shield (in the anchorage at Prideaux Haven)
and it fixed the fault.
After the cruising season I did a circulating acid clean but still kept the
heat shield in place.
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35-1

Okay so no wind today...
I pulled up to the gas dock, topped off water and fuel, loaded up and away we
went. Motor was running great! Fired up left dock, motored away. After about
an hour she seemed to be running out of gas. Stutter ed and stalled. Five
minutes later, after seeing sail, she started right back up. We sail back to
our home mooring. I pull the filter on the sepertator, looked clean as the day
I put it in. Then I thought, maybe the vent is plugged... well, it wasn't
plugged but it is routed with a trap and that trap was filled with fuel. Would
this have been enough to starve the engine?
