Only causes would be a air leak between the valve and tank. It may be something strange like stopped up pick up but doubt it. More than likely a bad hose between the tank and the valve.

also Look at where it goes into that tank and if it has a check vave connection change that out.;

Also may want to check and make sure that the pointer handle has not slipped out of synch with the tank. I know my handle had been bent and if its not in just the right place it won't be open for the fuel to flow.</p>

Make sure the vent to that tank is open also.</p>

Good points. A bad check valve will act like a stopped up pick up.

Do yourself a big favor and get rid of the factory plastic valve they have caused more motor problems than there worth you can get a three way brass valve at most harware stores and change it over only inconvienance is you have to manually change it but alot better system
