Get to drinking!! LOL

I had the same problem!! I put a hose right into the tank threw the float hole and it worked fine, but still a slow flow!!

I had a friend use a drill pump and that was fine also.

the snti spihon valve is preventing the fuel from siphoning out, take the barb fitting off the tank pick up adn re[place with a regular barb( the siphon check valve is inside the barb). If you use a drill pump, be carefull, the drill motor is not shielded for sparks, it can cause explosions in the presence of gas fumes. I took an auot store electric fuel pump, rigged it up pulling thru a racor fuel filter and use it to pump fuel, better yet, I just polish the fuel by running it back in the fill, cleans all the crap out of it, mix it with fresh and you're good to go.
