One of my skis (rebuilt carbs, new fuel lines except for vent, and new fuel selector) will run on 3/4 a tank without issue. If I fill the tank up it almost will not crank and when it finally does it bogs something awful.
I checked my intake vent (under the front hood) and could push air through. I took the hose off the baffle and Sucked, no issue. Okay, so the tank is getting air, has to be..
I took the entire fuel vent system, lines and all, replaced the lines and blew carb cleaner through all the splitters and adapters, as well as the check valves. I could Suck air out of the rub-rail (pressure relief) valve afterwards but could barely force air through the other direction (out of the tank direction). I assume this is to allow the fuel system to build enough pressure.
Okay, so all should function well now, right? Could there be something I missed? I didn't bother refilling it because at that point I had burnt off the 1/4 tank of gas and it ran great.
