Yes – I noticed yesterday when I was replacing gas lines that the tank outlet was about 3 inches lower than the carb input. On a hot day if you run low on fuel, maybe you could idle off the lake by shutting the tank vent and letting the heat of the sun soaked up by the black motor give the gas enough vapor pressure to get some into the carb!!??….may work better with the cover off and the sun directly on the black tank!
