Make sure the fuel line going into the carb doesn't extend more than 1/8" beyond the brass ring.
Tom , Maybe the addition of the "dog leg trap" on the fuel tank line that some one posted awhile back to catch the trash in the tank. I think that would help.
Plumbers call it a "Bull" on a natural gas line before it is hooked up to a appliance to catch the debris before entering the control valve.
