Recently developed a problem whereby if we leave the kart warming up on the dummy grid the engine will stall after 4-5 minutes - this appears to be caused by lack of fuel/large air bubble in the fuel line. I clear it by blowing through from the overflow tank and it doesn't seem to cause an issue once out on track.
I thought i'd tracked the problem down to the fuel filter leaking along its joint, but despite changing (and checked for leaks) we still get the same problem.

My next thought is to replace all the fuel lines, but before I do, I thought i'd ask if anyone else has experienced the same problem or has any other suggestions to check?

Thanks in advance
Matt
