Hmm, maybe I got an old hose. Plus I was wrong, I found the packaging from the hose and apparently I actually bought this very similar one www.lowes.com/pd_526356-442-490-240-0009_0__?productId=50056447It does not say made in usa, it says "COO USA" on the package which I think means country of origin. Not sure if that means "made in USA" or just packed in USA. I cut with a razor blade so should be clean cuts. Still seems like it should be OK but just to be sure I am replacing it all. |

Should have been made in their Cadillac Michigan Plant: Avon Automotive - Cadillac Plant 603 Seventh Street Cadillac, MI 49601 USA CARB approved to 50 psi so not really a junk hose. www.avonauto.com/pdf/brochure_greenbar.pdf |

Don't worry about the manual fuel shutoff valve , many use them including myself and I have yet to hear of an issue with them . the prob I'm sure was the debris in the fuel . if you can use an electric fuel pump then a manual shutoff valve should not cause an issue .

Hmm, if the hose is good the black stuff must be from something else, though any other source is upstream of the fuel filter. Could be that 150 microns isn't enough or there is just so many fine particles getting through it's causing problems.
I will clean out the carb again and try to polish up the needle and seat, and put in a better fuel filter, a clear one so I can see what it catches. Looks like the clear inline filters are usually around 75 micron.
I have new fuel line on order just in case, clear so I can see sediment in it. Also going to try threading a manual fuel valve for a motorcycle directly on the tank, I found one that supposedly has the same threads.

I would pull the tank, wash it out, add a new filter and then clean the carb. sounds like you got a tank full of cruddy gas, it happens.
