Just fixed a similar problem with my 28. Ordered a pencil filter for the tank and when I drained the gas and pulled the tank valve, found that valve was only about 1/3 open when turned to open. Removed the valve core and drilled the passageways out larger, ground and amount of the lever stop arm and put a metal ship in the lever opening to tighten it up. Problem solved!
