Jeff;
Sounds like you have done a good job of covering alot of suspected place's
but one thing that comes to my mind that got me once,was I had painted my
spitfire and a piece of masking tape snuck into the tank and kept covering
the stand pipe intermittantly which got to be aggravating. I am not saying
you've got a piece of tape in there but perhaps something similar. Don't
give up I am sure the fellow listers here have some more ideas as well.Hang
in there.
