Haven't tried that yet. Sure hope it's that simple. Heres a better description of what piping is currently connected to the carb.

1. fuel line from tank
2. vent pipe mentioned above
3. drain line from bottom of bowl
4. vacuum line from carb to intake manifold (on drivers side)

Thanks for any ideas.

From everything you described, it sounds like an internal problem within the carb. With the amount of time you have spent with this problem, it may be easier at this point to buy a new carb and get it running again.

OK, lets say I take your advise. Do I go with a 32 pumper and add new variables into the equation or back with a stock carb and see if that corrects the problem?

You have eliminated fuel delivery from the tank as the problem and the carb is correctly connected. I see no reason why you could not upgrade at this point to resolve your problem plus increase performance.

My wife didn't need to here that!! I going to check the vent tube you mentioned first, but a mandantory upgrade, I mean repair , (my opinion, not my wife's) may be in the near future.

i am having the same problem, and was told the stock vacuum fuel pumps are junk and need to upgrade to a after market one, and it will be just fine

stock vacuum fuel pump?????

fuel pump = petcock

I dont have either just let her flow. had no problems yet.

I'll bite,
Who sells an aftermarket vacuum operated fuel pump?

My GK19 could use better fuel flow.
