I once had a '73 164 (bought brand new, many years ago) that once developed a habit of fuel starvation and stalling -- it would restart promptly, though.

It turned out to be it's fuel strainer -- a small cylindrical "filter", inside the tank and accessed by removing a ~.5" square drive "bolt" on the bottom of the tank. It fits over the end of the fuel pickup line.

The problem was that it was defective -- to weak -- and was collapsing when fuel was being drawn too rapidly -- after the engine stopped, it expanded back to normal. Changing the filter fixed this.

I believe that p/n is 688593.
