Loose wire or bad terminal? My Universal M4-30 has an electric fuel booster pump. A dirty ground connection caused a problem called; speed up and die, or lack of fuel. Ours always restarted however and then cut out above half throttle. The wire terminal was green. Cleaned it with emery cloth and she ran fine for the next 12 hours. Once home, I changed the pump and hoses and remounted the water separater to it was easier to work on. Chuck S
