Replacement of Fuel Sys

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i would check the tank vent. its behind a removable plastic inner fender 
well behind the pass rear wheel. it connects to a point at the top of the 
tank, with the bleeder / vent valve way up inside the rear fender well 
(above the filler neck).
