Check and/or replace that valve and you'll be rolling again. Be sure to install a fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump to prevent any other particles from stopping up that valve again. That's where I'd go with this this type problem. Take care!

Yeah, Scuba,

I was thinking of popping a fuel filter in there. I have one on my old motorcycle for this exact reason so that makes total sense.

Thanks.
