I have cleaned out the sediment bowl, but that's all.
The gas shutoff valve is hard to turn, and it sounds like I need to drain/check the fuel system.

I went that route by opening up the GAV also and it did help some, but this just conked out... I think based on all i am reading and past members that it must be some clogging of the fuel line and junk in the carb.. Just hard to work on when on the TOLL WAY and they are going past at 70mph
