The engine will just not start. When I watch the fuel line fuel is going crazy in there. Air bubbles are everywhere going to the carb, then going backwards towards the fuel tank. Surely this is most likely a bad fuel tank, right? I'm going to buy a new one along with fuel tubing and a fuel filter. Do you think this will work? Any other suggestions?
Before changing your tank, try to protect your carb from the hot air that you are using to heat the engine...
This problem look more like a "vapor lock" than a bad thank...
I'm from Brazil, and here vapor lock is when your carburetor is to hot and the fuel evaporates before enter in the engine, I don't know if in the USA you use the same term.
