If I remember correctly I dropped the tanks and replaced about 10 years ago. I have added new line from selector valve forward recently trying to fix the issue. The steel lines have not been changed ever if those need changed as well. It’s odd at times I seem to get fuel out of the line at the carb and then I get nothing. Since I have bypassed the selector valve do I need to disconnect the other tank from the valve and plug the hose or does that even matter??
Thank you,
John Arbuckle
