Is it just when you floor it when it stalls on you?

no, you have to floor it to rev up, press the gas like in regular driving and it stalls....so, it'll "flood" im assuming unless its floored. sounds right. any ideas?

i think the vent solenoid opens the return line back to the tank, if the return line is closed it will overfill and run crappy?
