> Just an Idea but I had alot of problems with this too and my issues were the pick up line not lying flat in the tank and the pick up line tank filter. The new in-tank filter I bought had a one way ball in it with a screen that was way too fine. If you don't have one get one and put a stainless spring to keep it just off the bottom of the tank(with a fairly coarse screen(no ball)). Is the new cap you put on vented? if not drill the smallest hole you can to vent it. I only buy WIX clear filters but thats just preference. I would also check the impulse line from the crank to the fuel pump to see if its leaking I use heavy black rubber fuel line and use hose clamps, If it is leaking it won't send enough pressure to the pump to draw fuel from the tank. I would also check compression.

Hope that helps
