RE: Quick question
Make sure the vent hole (very small) in the gas cap will let air get to the tank. Otherwise you create a vacuum and no gas will flow.
If you disconnect the fuel line (after the filter;at the carb) and turn on the petcock, will gas flow out? (5 minutes) is about how long it takes to "run out" of gas from your fuel line.
Just wondering....

RE: Quick question
If it is the petcock you can buy a rebuild kit
You'll replace the rubber gasket that's about the size of a postage stamp
Make sure the two surfaces that meet up with either side of this gasket are perfectly flat
If they're not -- file them down a bit
If any air can get into this seal it'll interfere with the flow of gas through the petcock

question? So you are saying the the seal is insufficient for long term use?
