Yes. indeed.
it wasn't falling on its face yet, amazingly. i just have the tank out now for new exhaust hoses, and determined while its out, took the outlet apart to clean this. Seems an occasional pine needle fragment once a month for 36 years starts to add up to real schmutz

Of course the anti siphon valve is clean, when there's a screen upstream of it to catch all the junk.
Probably a 36 year collection of junk
 Same 454 that had wyrz issues a week or so ago? |

Had you been running Amzoil synthetic in your engine, that inlet screen would not have gunked-up like that.
Do you run your boat near Area 51 by chance? JQ

The inlet screen that is responsible for many hard-to-diagnose high speed fuel starvation issues, often blamed on aliens or 'vapor lock' , check valve looked clean, naturally. this time on an 85 SN. but, bigfoot exists |
