My fuel light is useless on the 205 and I think I almost ran it down to the bottom of the tank. Since then I've lost top end power and sometimes if I'm lucky it will have full power briefly (the boost shoots up and it pulls well for a second). Ill be doing the oil, filter and fuel filter but just wanted to check what it could be!

Loss of power, likely due to clogged fuel filter?

Maybe fuel filter and try and blast the fuels with an airline, that should help !
Disclaimer - I think it would be ok to blow back thought the fuel lines with an airline but check with someone else first

It was indeed fuel filter as I thought.
Ill get a picture up when I'm on a PC later. It's hands down the worst fuel filter I've ever seen!

The tank could probably benefit from a good clean, is there anywhere else I should check how blockages?
