Have you removed the valve packing nut? Perhaps there is some gunk plugged up inside there…
I have not removed the petcock valve from the filter. I will try that. (#6 from #7)
Is the filter element connected to the nut? If so, how? Is the filter element threaded?
The filter and the fuel valve are two separate pieces, the valve can be unthreaded from the filter. But, be very careful, those filters are delicate/brittle and will break off easily. So, you might just want to unthread the valve packing nut to have a look inside the valve housing for debris.
Don: Do you mean the packing nut that is part of the fuel line coming out of the bottom of the valve? That’s already disconnected as you can see in my photo. Or do you mean the packing nut between the filter element and the top of the calve? As far as I can tell, the packing nut and the filter element are one piece. See photo below.
I will disconnect the filter from the valve and see if that area is blocked.
Jacques: I really don’t want a rubber hose with an inline but it may come to that.
