    I just had it running for the last 2hrs and it shut off. It seems like something is heating up and restricting the fuel. I may try to bypass the lift pump when I have time. The big filter is still full.

    Did you change the inline filter not just the big one there are two fuel filters because it sure sounds like it a plugged inline filter.

    Yes. Two brand new filters.

    Looks like the lift pump is toast. I let it run 4 times and nothing, then I got it running with the injection pump and shut it off, then pulled the line again and nothing.

    Anyone replacing fuel pump on tripac evolution, go to autozone and pick up "
    Holley Mighty Mite Fuel Pump. Part #12-427" its the exact same fuel pump that goes on ur tripac evolution apu, only thing ur gonna have to do is cut the wire from the bad fuel pump and wire it to the new pump so u can plug the connectors, the new fuel pump is only 51$ where as thermoking oem is over 250$, it took me 10min to replace mines after I removed the covers
     
    062 Thanks this.

    New lift pump didn’t solve the problem. It only ran for a hour yesterday. It was running fine, then sputtered one time and died. Just like it ran out of fuel.
    It was so hot I didn’t mess with it.

    If everything is new on it (fuel pump,inlet filter,air filter,fuel solenoid) then the pump or solenoid are losing power when it gets hot or you have some tiny fuel leak in the pick line or tube.If you have time you could hook the pump to a battery and test run the unit to see if it stays running once it gets hot.If so you would know that's the problem.

    For giggles I put another inlet filter on and it may just be my imagination, but it has a better sound to it. Even though it had throttle response when it was running before it seems to rev faster. If it shuts off again I’m going to switch pick up tubes next. The tank is full, but that’s about all that I can think of. The filter I took off was full, but only a couple drops came out of the feed line.

    I would have had to wait Until this morning for that Holley fuel pump that @Buckeyes614 posted. Napa was a mile from my delivery and had a Mr Gasket pump. The Napa part #7357302. It’s not a direct fit. You need a piece of 3/8 hose and a couple clamps to make it work. And with the Holley pump you have to use the old plug.
