FE290 Fuel Filters almost empty

[keeldridge]

I have a 1998 Club Car with a FE290 Kawasaki motor. The cart will run fine for a short period (3/4 mile) and then die like it is running out of gas. Checked the fuel lines and both the filter near the tank and the one near the carb have very little fuel in them. I changed out the fuel filters and manually filled the one near the the tank with fuel and the cart started and seems to run fine. (20 minutes under a load) but when I check the filters both were just about empty. Any ideas, is this normal? I did blow air back through the pickup tube and also check the fuel line going to the Carb by putting in the line into a bottle and turning the motor over. Not sure how much should be coming out of the pump, seem like a very slow stream. Any idea how much fuel pressure I should be seeing coming out of the pump?
Thanks
