Hi
May 2014 i bought a new petrol tap (141541 1 PETROL TAP WITH FILTER/RESERVE, 1/4 gas) It fitted well and seemed to be ok. But since then i had problems, in the beginning, when i ran for full throtle, it could happen that the engine died, i did not know if it was an electric or petrol problem but after turning the petrol tap to reserve it ran again. later on the engine also could die on reserve. but then run again if switched to normal (in all cases there was plenty of petrol in the tank) I also blew out the system backwards and the petrol ran ok. On a longer trip this weekend it happened several times a day and also on the Great belt bridge which was not fun. Home I took the tank of and drained it, took out the petrol tap. the filter was not blocked and one could blow through the tap. Then i dismantled the tap and I noticed that the rubber disc with two big and two smaller holes was mounted with the big holes ower the locking tap and the small holes by the groove. There was some rubber crates left in the smaller holes. I believe that the rubber slowly has compressed and closed the holes. but after mowing it it has opened again until after some time it has closed again. I have now mounted the rubber disc with the small holes on the locking pins and mounted the tap again. Hopefully the problem is now solved.
