Wow I hope you find this problem. My 30 pulled the same stunt once, shut off, restarted, idled great -- gas pouring out of the carb - but don't even think about letting the clutch out and trying to move. Got rollbacked home. I vacuumed the fuel tank with air compressor suction method - put new gas in and no more problem--knock knock.

My car does not get that much mileage during the winter months and at the end of the year I suction the old ethonol out before the cruising season starts and refill the tank.

Don't know if questionable gas could even be related to your problem but you never know. Don't leave any stone unturned. Good luck
