Well folks here is an UPDATE:
Got a gallon jug of fuel dropped the suction line to the secondary filter, engine ran until the jug was almost empty. The jug was sitting on the ground at an elevation lower than the fuel tank.
Hooked the line back to the primary filter, primed both filters and the engine ran about 3 minutes.
Ok plan 3, Disconnected the line coming from the fuel tank. Disconnected the outlet line on the primary filter. Connected the two lines together primed the system. The engine ran for about 10 minutes until I shut it down.
Removed the primary filter, tightened the drain cock on the bottom of it, filled it with fuel re-installed it, connected the lines, hit the primer a couple licks and fired the engine up. It ran about 5 minutes before it quit,
So the problem seems to be with the NAPA fuel filter, the gasket, the drain cock or last but not forgotten about the hose connections or casting it self.
I am headed to the hardware store to get a plain hex plug to replace the drain cock as this the simplest step.
If that does not work I am going to find a Racor or Fram dealer.
The SAGA continues but the hair is still in place.
