JB, you hit the nail on the head here. I finally sucked it up (not literally of course) and drained the tank again. I disassembled all of the fittings and sure enough, the fitting going to the fuel line was blocked. It wasn¡¦t much, but it was pretty tight. I decided to go ahead and wash out the tank. I didn¡¦t realize how much stuff was in there until I saw what a clean one looks likeƒº Now that it is all apart waiting to dry out, I guess I should try to find a new shutoff valve. One of them is stripped and I can¡¦t tighten it down. I have looked around, but so far haven¡¦t had much luck.

I appreciate all the help from you, the Vet and Allan. I guess I didn¡¦t want to believe the obvious until you guys sort of convinced me. I am still puzzled by the lack of a fuel pump. I have a 15 degree grade out back. Do I need to back this thing up the hill like in the old days? Just kidding.

Thanks guys,
Ray
