Star Tech, just discovered something strange, there is no accumulation of fuel in new filter. Put gas in other side tank, still same problem. Engine still starts no problem and idles fine. When i full throttle in neutral MIL light comes on for a short period and goes off. When i turn the key on pump runs for a couple of seconds, then stops running. It seems strange that the filter is not full of fuel, correct? Blew air in tank inlet hose and it definitely goes through tank.

Fuel filters don’t always fill up with fuel. Make sure fuel tank vent and or gas cap is venting properly.

Will check venting tubes and caps, seems odd both tanks would be doing same, as one has never been used. Thanks.
