If the stalling is related to how much fuel is in the tank (mine
stalled with about 1/3 to 1/4), it's probably a dirty in-tank fuel
filter. This filter is inside the fuel pump housing. The fuel pump
can be removed from the backseat. Remove the pump, remove the fuel
level sender, and then pop the the fuel pump housing apart. The filter
is a vertical sock, and will be dirtiest on the bottom. Remove sock,
and clean with carb cleaner. Reinstall and you should be good to go.
Also, check on the www.contour.org website. If you have any further
questions, email me directly, as I don't normally check this user's
group.
