    Gerardo my son I would venture to guess what your problem is old fuel lines. You also may want to replace the fuel block with the anti siphon valves inside. Air is getting into the system.

    Along with the fuel lines might also check the transfer pump.

    I have to ask somebody how much hours the mechanic need for this job(fuellines y fuelblock changed and check transferpump) to have a estimated price or hours.
