Can anybody tell me why my engine won't pick up fuel from the tank. It runs from the carb. bowl fine but will not run from the tank.

John, Your check value is stuck!! that little ball bearing has to go "back and forth", shake the "H" out of it, and then the gas can go on thru. This happens all the time, especially if a engine is not run for quite a while.

Got a check valve on the end of the fuel line?

Yep, got a check valve, such as it is. I ordered one from one of the suppliers and when I got it it was a ball bearing inside a ferrule union.
