Update:
I started to drain the fuel. Full tank BTW... It was flowing slowly and taking dayz to fill a damn gas can. When the tank got to about 4 gal left it stopped flowing. I think the carb was getting enough gas to run, but when it needed alot it leaned out. I am going to run a hose from the electric fuel pump to try and drain the rest if I can. Pulling the tank in the buggy is looking like a pain in the ass and I am going to try to avoid that route.

yep sounds like the problem :thumbs:

. If your tank is really bad I have an extra one just sitting here you can have.

Dumb question... that tank doesn't still have a reserve valve on it does it? Not that I think its your problem but mine got real gummed up and it did create some issues.

Glad it looks like you found the problem. See, it wasn't the 009, lol.

I'm sure the 009 isn't helping anything

D- I would also go through the carb and make sure it's spotless on the inside/passages, there is a really good chance some of that rust found it's way downrange.
