Sound's like the pipe ontop of the fuel tank has corroded allowing the engine to draw air into the fuel line, very common on troopers, you can fit some clear pipe in the fuel line at the filter and ckeck for air Wink

Like our good man said the fuel pipe on the tank. The other one is fuel pipes airing on the clips to filter, the filter is tight enough on the housing. I understand the leak off pipe on cyl head can run back overnite, not in the short time like you have explained. Perhaps the expert can put you in the right direction with this fault.
