R Scheer 502 #2 Posted July 28, 2021 There is a strainer, part of the gas shut off valve at the bottom of the fuel tank. This can get clogged. The valve should pull out, you may need a new rubber grommet if the old one has dried out, otherwise it might leak when you reinstall the valve. Just a thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,043 #3 Posted July 28, 2021 They will suck air and not leak fuel out. This happens where the fuel line is pushed onto a nipple but is too hard to grab the nipple and seal the connection. New supple fuel line should fix it.

953 nut 55,229 #4 Posted July 28, 2021 Your gas cap has a vent built into it. If the vent is not working a vacuum will develope in the fuel tank as gas is removed. Once the vacuum becomes greater than the ability of the fuel pump suction it is like running out of gas. Try running with the fuel evel a bit low and the cap not tightened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
