Anything that interrupts fuel flow after some volume/time has passed. Plugged tank vent causing vacuum in tank to overcome fuel pump. Debris in tanks that gets sucked to tank outlet blocking it, but not sucked up into pump Falls away after engine dies. Electric fuel pump that can't quite keep up with flow, but catches up a few seconds after engine dies. On a gas engine with mechanical points, the condenser can fail in such a way as to allow the engine to run for a few seconds, then die. Failure in an automatic oil pressure loss switch. Most of them are bypassed for a few seconds as the engine starts, then, when they activate, the failed switch kills the engine. Various failures in the onboard computer (if applicable. ) -- http://neon-buddha.net _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
