[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1155661, member: 68872"] I am going to chime in and echo the "needle valve" suggestion. I have seen plenty of cases where the needle valve gets mucked up and it can cause all sorts of problems. Like any valve, the "needle" and the "seat" need to be in good shape in order for the valve to completely shut off the gas flow. When a valve gets old, it tends to leak. I have also seen cases where some gunk has gummed up the valve, causing it to stick. If it sticks open, gas flows everywhere. If it sticks closed, you run out of gas. If it sticks halfway, it can drive you nuts! Every bump you hit could make it stick in a different spot. If you have gas flowing out the vent lines then you have a float / valve problem. I would just bite the bullet and buy a new needle valve and put that issue to rest. Rod [/QUOTE]
