Having a fuel starvation issue when running on the right tank. Pressure slowly drops until engine is starved unless preempted by turning on electric boost pump. No issue when running on left tank. Have removed right tank and can blow air to the engine without any obstruction. All flexible fuel lines were replaced on both sides during last annual, April this year.

The only item left to check is to remove and replacing the engine driven fuel pump (4 years old, 350 hours or so). Could it be a case of it weakening, but not completely failing? Maybe the left side is not starving due to the shorter physical run to the engine?
