When you ran out, did you slosh it around and could you tell if there was any gas in it?
Thanks for the ideas.

I didn't slosh the tank around listening for gas, but I was only able to put 2.5 gallons in a 3 gallon tank, so I'm pretty sure that there should have still been some there. I'll play around with the petcock some, to see if I find anything.

One more idea. I recently added an inline fuel filter between the tank and the carb. Perhaps there is something wrong with the plumbing?
