Not certain about pressure drop (never measured fuel pressure) but a clogged filter is definitely one cause of the stalling issue you describe. With those filters clogged, it's hard to get the engine running above about 1500 rpm

Re: Bow Rail Restoration
Jeff's suggestion is the one that makes best practice. Using thicker rubber or (better) Starboard as Carl did are OK, but the former is less complicated and certainly separates metal from metal. As I reflect on what I did (now nearly 20 yrs ago, I took the base pieces to a machine shop and had them ...

If not, it's a circuit issue and a quick call to the mfr can tell you whether repair is feasible. Also, if the unit has a connect...

My standard advice when one encounters symptoms you reported: Check the filter (usually cg-11) at the point where the fuel line enters the carb. It historically causes what you ran into
