I'm 83 -- both sides (hip-replacement) begins the 24th -- I was afraid I'm to try to view the tank-outlet. Since 2018 I've owned this Budd-Cab, not sure what's in the tank, tho I was thinking of blowing air back thru the shut-off -- I don't know what else to do right now.

Let it sit until you feel better.

I think you have a fuel problem. When you feel up to it. Take you fuel system apart. Make sure everything is flowing cleanly. Clean you carburetor, blowing out the jets. Than I would install an inline fuel filter half way between the original fire wall mounted bowl and your carburetor. Just cut the fuel line and add filter with rubber hoses and clamps.

This has worked for me a number of times. Make sure your plugs a correct and in great shape.

Hope your feeling better.

Blowing compressed air back through your fuel lines and shut off valve sounds like a good idea, removing the fuel line at the carburetor and checking for a good strong and long lasting flow would be another choice. Your steel gas lines may be rusty on the inside slowing flow, you may have rust behind the shut off valve slowing flow, IF you have an in tank screen it maybe partially clogged.
