July 27, 201016 yr TK I'd make sure the filters up inside the tank are clean (on top of the petcock) and it flows sufficient fuel (sometimes the rubber disk in the valve deteriorates). As you replaced the float valve I'm assuming you checked the float level so that should be o.k. Check the fuel tank cap vent to be sure it allows air into the tank properly. Sometimes a new, properly gapped plug will help. Have you adjusted the carb screw for any changing weather conditions lately? The mixture screw needs to be checked now and then as the weather changes. Jon
