Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that the problem is solved for now. You will probably need to install the stand up mesh filter that fits in the cut off valve or the problem may soon return. The second thing that I learned about the model A is that most have rust and trash in the gas tank. Back in the day (early sixties), no stand up filters were available. A friend showed me how to install a short piece of tubing in the cut off valve to keep it from drawing fuel off the bottom of the tank, where the rust and trash collects. The tube in the cut off valve solved the problem but the stand up filter is the best way to go.
