I have played with the fitting a bit, took it entirely apart and all. It is the banjo bolt where the gas enters the float bowl. The bowl stays full, and doesn't seem to fluctuate much. I took the screen out and cleaned it a bit and reassembled trying different positions etc, but nothing seemed to remedy the problem. I am wondering if the old fuel line flaked a bit when the fitting came loose and moved. Anyway, I am pretty confident it is no longer the issue. I also know that the fuel pump is working because of all the gas that spewed out when I loosened the hose clamp! I do see some tiny particles now in the float bowl. I don't want to have to rebuild if it was running well before. I just want to get the jet flushed out if I can, so I am going to start there with the carb on. If that fails and the carb comes off I can try removing the jet. If that fails, rebuild time I guess. Not excited about that since I can only find one place with an available kit and it is $60. If I was sure the $60 would solve my problems that would be okay, but I am not exactly confident in my rebuilding skills.
