it's actually quite short.. fuel starvation..May I beg you for the long story?
Phil,Fuel starve isn't cool...I have a fix for this problem with my little surge tank I made a while back:shift:
I've been running it for a few weeks now and all is well. The install isn't too tough with the overflow line being the hardest part to plumb- which goes into the filler neck with a little adapter I made... There's some very minimal electrical work to be done, but nothing too tough... I hope make a few mor of them in the next week or so if anyone is interested...
Best,
Phil

If there's no fuel, it'll just stall/cut out. It'll do the same even if there is fuel, but it's too lean to ignite. The danger is in just enough fuel to ignite, yet so lean that you melt things.I figured if there is really NO fuel then it doesn't matter,

That's certainly a lean out condition which holed the piston. My guess would be a momentary starve caused just enough of a drop in fuel pressure to cook it. Which piston was it? End of the rail by chance?
Swirl pot is a very good idea, or at the very least, a fuel pressure switch connected to a "bad things are happening" light.
