I did a little checking on the fuel system today.

First I pulled the gas line at the carb, put the end in a tin can, and cranked for about five seconds. No gas.

Next I unscrewed the filter can. There was a very little dirty gas in the bottom, but the filter didn't look dirty, so I put it back in for now.

Then I pulled off the line coming from the tank at the carb. Gas ran out like it should.

I went back to the carb line and put it in the can again. When I cranked this time, It started filling the can.

I put the line back on, and on the third try (pouring a little gas in the carb each time) it stayed running on its own.

I haven't driven it on the road yet, but it acts like nothing is wrong.

Vapor lock? Dirt in the line that got knocked loose?
