I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY PORT - BEEN DRIVING ME NUTS.

Somedays - no problem whatsoever!

Other days - engine dies but fires right back up.

I need to do some more fine tuning but I think its a fuel problemo!

Can't swap, copper pipe. Kind of hard to get to but I am going to see if I can remove the port line.
Ok guys this is the big weekend. Going to remove the gas line from the tank and check the valve. Kind of worried about gas spill over but I guess it wont be too much.
Thanks for the info
