Was having problems running my M813, couldn't keep it going without cracking the throttle and then it would stall out. Assumed the issue was air leaking into the large canister filter so I replaced it with a WIX 33528 fuel filter and 33405 Fuel/Water Separator. Problem is the 24770 Filter base doesn't line up uniformly leading to the following rube-Goldberg rig incorporating 1/4 inch steel bar, an aluminum block and the existing canister mount from the truck.
But the problem persisted, after replacing all the fuel lines figured out that the pickup tube in the tank had rotted out. Somehow a steel pickup tube had been installed.
With a new "copper" pickup tube installed the truck will now idle at 450rpm all day long. However I still have a hesitation in the accelerator.
Could this be a fuel volume issue? Noticed the spin on kit that Big Mike sells uses a Baldwin BF 7587 filter, which appears to be larger volume that the WIX 33528.
