yea. maybe i didnt let it dry out long enough. i think ive sorted it. i drained the bowls and rusty water and fuel came out. so turned over the engine until they filled up and drained em again. did that till no more came out and it seems fine now. im thinking ive also got a leaky filler seal specially with all this rain.
