Spent an hr cleaning the VST. It is basically a can w/ a float valve that regulates the immersion of an electric fuel pump. At the bottom of the pump is a rubber fitting housing the fuel pick up and screen. Mine was over half clogged. There are 400hrs on it. The plastic cover that guides fuel to the screen had a chunk of accumulated fiberglass resin that powdered under the pressure of my finger. the bottom of the can much like a carb bowl and was nasty w/ the same stuff.
I had it cleaned, re installed and running in an hr.

I love this motor!
I like my alcohol in my glass and not in my fiberglass tank/fuel system.
