Absolutely change the filters, but don't rule out air leakage as well. Check all the fuel lines for possible leaks. Just a tweak here or there can make a difference.

Also, be sure in tank pump is pumping through the primary and secondary filters. Sound means it runs, fuel flowing means it pumps. Also, a clogged air filter is no help, clean it regularly or replace. Earth also has a very good point, inspect and tighten all fuel line connections. Best of luck, JT
